Hello, My Dear Friends
Life is so great, it's hard not to enjoy the beauty of what we are given every day. The monkeys and I just got back from camping in Santa Fe. Had the ol' man been there, we would have probably taken turns riding up the mountain. Our main goal, stars, and sleeping in a tent. The stars were amazing. The girls couldn't believe how many stars are in the sky. I told them I have another amazing place in NM to show them the stars. Pecos near Cuba. The most amazing stars I
Today is Tuesday, Argh, It feels like Monday!
Maybe that's a good thing, I'm not sure. Dropping Ken off at the airport is always a bitter sweet moment. Yesterday was a great day, until about 2.5 hours into our ride in to Jemez Dam. Here's the route with elevation gain, just figured it was about 55 miles. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/51344180 I had to bail. You know that toe I broke? Well, it didn't give me any trouble but now: That was 8.25

It's hard to talk about my detox, or my life in general right now outside of my athletics and my clients. Today I ran an hour with the dogs, this is a relaxed run, I worked primarily on cadence. For some reason my cadence has dropped. Which is weird because 180 rpms feels so natural and good. The dogs are getting in better shape. Mojo made the mistake of taking off and running with an Ironman
Day IV of Detox
Other than detox it's been a great week! Yesterday did an awesome recovery ride down at the Bosque, it was weird doing a 'group ride' on a bike trail, but it was perfect practice. It has been a long time since riding in a group. Group Rides stopped in North Texas when I could no longer ride my bike on the road. I dropped back a couple of times due to nerves and then, just put some weight into the peddles to catch back up. Just giving myself a little bit
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
A Nice Long Week
It was, of course, a good week. All weeks are good, when we choose them. It was a long week. Time is never going back, and yesterday, my youngest monkey turned the clocks into double digits. 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
