The Most Important Investment of All

Bodywell Fitness

downloadI still kind of shake my head when I realize that summer is actually over,  fall is well under way, and winter not that far off!!

I was SO meant to be born in SoCal (that’s ‘Southern California’ for all you folks who aren’t as hip as me… the fact that I still use the term ‘hip’ proves me otherwise) where the weather is permanently niiiice.  Once I get over my initial mourning period for the loss of summer however I do actually enjoy the fall season.  I love all the fresh produce, pulling out warm p.j.’s, long walks enjoying the fall colours.

So, of course this has to lead somewhere…the long walks.  Had one the other day with hubby.  Every 18 months or so I ask him what he does and I honestly make a very concerted effort to pay attention.  (I remember years ago when a girlfriend asked…

Winter season: Injury, Rest & Recovery

zebedee101

A week after the wet London Ride I went for a gently 3-5 k run, just to see how the legs and body were feeling after two weekends of pretty intense work. The run itself felt fine and nothing out of the ordinary, however it has left me ever since walking in pain with the culprit being the right knee (bit of an injury prone being it must seem from some of my previous posts!).

I took it carefully banning any sort of leg work so cycling and running was out of the window for a couple of weeks. With a bit of online reading…

Find Your "Fit"

I was on Pinterest this evening, looking for some worthy motivational and inspiration messages to both share with you all and to keep in my personal collection.
