Today while running in the 60 degrees we are experiencing two days prior to Christmas, three (3) people actually jumped up and down in front of me (I wear earphones and generally ignore passersby) to get my attention and ask where and what I was wearing. So, I guess in addition to the Green Juice I have been drinking and blogging about and the revamped TRX workouts being featured on my revamped YouTube page, I'd better add back the links for my only running wear.

My third week of conscious movement and action shows a sum total of 29 active workouts clocking over 32 hours and 26 minutes of activity and approximately 10K calories used in the process for the month-to-date. I have been keeping a daily journal of each activity and using the application on my Android phone to tally the calories used, exertion level for a weekly report.
Two days of rest are noted, May 7 and May 15 and a range of cross-training activities throughout the period. The highest usage of calories was an 1.5 hour road bike ride during the first week (735 calories) followed...

It is truly a full-time job staying healthy. Especially if you feel like you are pushing the heck out (and up) of every inch of your over 50 year old body!
