Relevance


Relevance is when you send a message to your body, and it responds with an affirmative. This week was good. I put sixty miles of running in the book, added seven miles of hiking and many hours stretching and core. What is best is that I'm feeling good after running 25 miles in the mountains at 7500'.  I will accept this as a relevant sign that my body is slowly accepting the "envelop" I'm pushing its way.

Some stills from the trail...

The Mountain Is a Great Motivator

Thanks for breaking the silence on my new little blog. :-)

I will be coming back here regularly to follow as I am only learning the running game...am busy reading Slow Burn and its a whole new world of thinking for me.

Mel, that is a great book. I've done some work with Stu Mittleman...he is a student of Phil Maffetone and a good guy. I'm interested in hearing how the training regimin works for you.

Wow! That looks like a great run! You motivate me to pursue my weight loss goals. Running or exercising is such a big challenge but after learning about its effect on you and your body, I want to try it as well and get a relevant response from my body the same way that you did.

Looks like an amazing run Will. Some great trails around here but nothing at that altitude with those views. Peace E
