Just a quick update this morning.
We are in the grasp of quite a sensational spring snow storm here in central Montana. Up to 6 feet of snow in several places just to the north of us. Dangerous for travel and deadly for livestock producers.
We have had a couple of feet of snow here in Great Falls and I have taken a couple of days off. Will begin to 'slog' on our very wet city streets when the snow begins to melt in the next couple of days.
Our always popular Ice Breaker road race did manage to get off on schedule before this spring storm set in. It was pretty chilly (which may have accounted for the lower than usual number of participants) and a little windy, but was still a pretty good day for runners.
I managed my personal goal of 8 1/2 minute or less miles for the 3 mile....although I was hoping to push that to perhaps 8 minute miles.
We'll get there! I really want to get down to around 7 minute miles and then move up to a few 10k's next.
Hope you are achieving your fitness goals! Leave me a comment if you would like to connect.

It's Amazing.....
It's been a while since we've visited. No excuses....
I did make it down to the Veteran's National Wrestling Tournament in Las Vegas. It is amazing just how well conditioned and prepared a bunch of 'boomer athletes' can be!
If you are a boomer athlete and are reading this post...... Congratulations! You are one of a very select group of people who have chosen 'The Road Less Traveled'.
What I have discovered is that age really is just a number. I found a very vibrant group of people, in a wide range of numerical ages who are living life to the fullest and doing things that most people don't even dream of!
The whole experience has left me even more energized and eager to continue my quest toward my personal physical goals and my committment to take the message to as many others as possible.
Don't just think about doing something...get out there and do something about it. Every part of your being will benefit.
You will feel better, look better, have more energy and, most likely, find yourself looking for greater challenges to overcome.
I feel like a kid again and do hope you will come along for the ride.
