Tips for Staying Fit in your 40s

But I have a goal of still running races in my 80s, or maybe even my 90s, so I need to focus now on setting the framework for that. I want to make sure my body is as strong as it can be now, so that fewer injuries happen later. Here's what I'm going to create a functionally fit and healthy body heading into my 50s. Use those muscles - In our 40s, we start losing muscle mass. There are plenty of studies showing this loss, but there are also studies that show that it is possible to maintain or even regain some muscle mass as you age. The key?

There were no healthy choices this weekend.  We went out to dinner twice, we went to a cookout, and we went on date night. My meal choices looked something like burger, burger, Mexican food.  Add on a few beers and a margarita and guess what? I feel like crap and my shorts are all tight. Ugh. It's time I really focused on my eating.  "They" say you can't out exercise a bad diet.  Right now, I'm the poster child for that … [Read more...]

Coffee with a side of rain

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
