Opposition in All Things

After several day's detour northward on the weight train, I have finally gotten back on the southern track. Curse those Krispy Kremes! How could something so delightfully fluffy and pure wreak so much havoc on my corporeal goals? Ok, I admit there were several other treats that passed too close to the vortex... and were assimilated. It is always a challenge to stay focused because there's alway's something in the way, just the way life works I suppose.

The opposition of the week comes from various aches and pains trying to thwart my exercise plan. Here's what I learned so far - running is hard on my knees & feet. I tried some 'Iliotibial Band Syndrome' (sounds like a punk rock group) I would not recommend it, but I did start stretching more and that seems to help. I will probably have to break down and get a new pair of shoes too - it's amazing how much a difference that can make.

The good news is that I am getting faster on the bike and running. Pat's run at ASU is about a month and a half away. I signed everyone in our house up for it (yes they are into it) and we are looking forward to riding the Metro light rail to get there.

What do you do together with your family to keep fit and fun?
