2014 The Year of the Eagle
It's not everyday you get to see a bald eagle. Let alone 4, in your neighborhood, sitting in a tree. As we were getting ready to turn a new year I proclaimed 2014 as the year of the Eagle. Zuni Fetish: Eagle = creator, teacher, loyalty, great integrity, spiritual connection to the great divine. Eagle, I fly with you! I made a commitment to myself and to Zoefitness to soar above and beyond, to not fall weakness to those around me who try to bring me down. The eagle is much more to me than just
Every Great Adventure Begins Like This:
With My Great Adventure Glasses. Nothing says it better than the glasses I won last summer at the Terra Firma Racing San Juan Hut to Hut Race. When the glasses come out, that's when you know it's going to be good, real good. It says one thing: ROAD TRIP!! This time down to Dallas for the Frozen Endurance Series, DORBA race, on my old home course, at Northshore Trail. Those are some nice trails, and with the weather forecast at 68 degrees, it's going to be heaven. Wednesday night the cough came. This didn't
PHAT Biking and What I Have Learned About the Sport
First off, I want to mention, I have resigned calling my PHAT bike a Fat Bike. I used to call it my Fat Bike, but the more I rode it, the more I learned about the sport, and the more fun I had, I just had to change the name to PHAT bike; as in, Pretty Hot and Tempting. I have taken the bike out a few times since I purchased it. This is my very first day on it. See how I am really happy and there are leaves on the

After Thoughts of Thanksgiving
It's that time of year in the frozen tundra. Friday it was a -9 windshield for my run: Bottoms: 2XU Sub 0 Thermal Tights, next time I recognize I will need to add another layer, either in a base layer, or a Gortex shell. Top: 2XU Base Layer, fleece and Zoefitness Voler Jacket. This was plenty. Sinus' were protected by Un-petroleum gel. Head: Balaclava and hat, and 2XU gloves. I did not feel my sinus' were well enough protected, so I have since added my Rudy Project Ski Goggles. Welcome 2014 Zoefitness Sponsors who have so

Pre Cancer is Not Cancer
My dermatologist called, I have "pre skin cancer". In the book of Zoe I do not have cancer. I will not treat it with cancer medicine. When I was 16 years old the DR told me I had "pre cancer of the cervix" So at 16 I underwent cervical cauterization to find out 10 years later that they no longer treat abnormal cells in this fashion, but instead they monitor it and in most cases the abnormal cells some how become normal cells. In the years since then, I have had several experiences where I
