70 in February? BRING IT!

Growing up in Southern California near the beach meant plenty of warm weather and outdoor time. Being outdoors meant running, playing, biking, skating... everything I still love to do! Perhaps that's why I am still a warm weather runner to this day. Warm weather boost the spirits, whether you know it or not--no pun intended. Now, don't get angry, you die-hard snow peeps. Plenty of cold weather exercise to be had. But just for fun, take a look at what Science Daily had to say about my beautiful sunshine...

Warm weather boosts mood, broadens the mind

QUESTION: Is the GYM enough for you, or do you, like me, need your OUTDOOR fitness fix?

For me, heat is akin to passion: it's time to move, it's time to enjoy, it's time to live!

WHY am I so Happy??

Ok, so I'm running along my neighborhood path today, panting as I take a rather steep hill which quickly made me realize just how important it is to NOT get out of your fitness routine even for a short time, when I realize that despite that tough hill, I really am just SO HAPPY. Not the ha, ha isn't this fun kind of happy. But the deep sense of well being kind of happy where you feel just plain grateful to be alive to experience this incredible world! And part of that is just the pure exhilaration of breaking that sweat however you like to do it! Check this out:

Happy Presidents Day!

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
