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. Yes, Kangoo Jumps for cardio/aerobic fitness.

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...
Maintenance is a never ending, on-going process of continual activity and work. To maintain a healthy smile and pleasant conversation with people, we brush and floss our teeth daily. To maintain the life of our automobiles, we regularly get the oil changed and make sure the plugs are lubricated and tires rotated. Nails are filed and polished weekly, lawns are cut and manicured weekly, so why is it such a difficult thing to understand and actualize the maintenance of the body with a daily regimen?
