From KT – July 5, 2013

Yo DaVita !!

A quick note before I head out for a run.

First, the reason I am trying to reduce my diet cokes is that it just doesn’t feel healthy to ingest all those chemicals.  I am pretty good on fresh fruits and vegetables every day, even on the road as best I can be, and taking in all those chemicals just feels inconsistent.

Second, yesterday I had zero!

Third, yesterday included a high intensity 90 minutes of road biking, including 2100 feet of vertical, during which we saw two young bucks close up, both with their antlers in impressive adolescence. It also included 18 minutes of physical therapy, outside in the fresh air which made it a lot less boring than usual.

Fourth, I ALMOST got to bed without dessert …. But then a dear old friend asked me to stay up and talk about some stuff going on in his life.  2 hours later I had had 2 beers and a bunch of cake.  DARN.

I am enjoying a nice mix of exercise over this weekend.  Mountain biking, road biking, running, physical therapy, hiking.  That is not only better for my body, in that I work different muscle groups and coordination challenges … but also keeps things interesting.

We are nearing the home stretch.  5,200 of us, across the globe, working to lead healthier lives.  This is not a dress rehearsal, this is our lives.  Let’s do it.

All the best, KT
