Riding Switchbacks
Your Line Is Everything – The line you pick to go through the turn will determine your outcome. The video below will show you how to chose that line, but also look for any rocks or roots that are looking to kick you off of that line. There is a preferred method of attacking switchbacks, but if that line is covered up with harder terrain…you might have to improvise. * Keep Your Balance – This is one of those situations where practicing your trackstanding really pays off.

The Desert Awakens
Today is my official day off of exercise. I will probably lift weights. My arms are getting flabby and I can't have that. Yesterday I went for a 1 hour trail run with the tail wagger and the nub wagger. The tail wagger was having a tough time about 50 minutes into it, so instead of re-living the Norwegian Elkhound heatstroke, total blood transfusion, carry off trail, we took it EZ for the last mile-ish. Mojo's got to get in better shape. He's too heavy to carry off the trail

And tomorrow you notice you're feeling better, so you do a little bit more

Both are turning into lovely women. I may or may not be prepared for it. I've heard drinking helps. I think, the alternative will help too, ultra endurance exercise. For Me and for THEM. I always prefer the later. It was a marathon type of week. With Elle Belle's birthday. Ken's here, and that is awesome! He pulled in around 11 pm

It’s Ti-ime!
Sometimes, I try new things, get involved with other things, generally speaking I like to update my blog once a week. Any more time than that, and I can't remember. I am now on Twitter, you too can follow Zoefitness1. I would like to follow you too. I will be working on the whole Twitter/Facebook connection. Please be patient with me. As you are aware of, there are only so many hours in the day. Which, of course, is never enough. I just learned, I can not eat garlic/onions anymore. That's depressing,

Good enough for government work. I blogged for an hour, and guess what
