Mix it Up!!!










How often in life do we get set in our ways and do the same thing hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year? For some there is comfort in knowing what is in store day to day, but it is in the unknown where we find the greatest adventure. With this in mind I set off to mix up the monotony of training and did a little altitude run and bike. Saturday morning found me up a Bogus Basin setting off for a little run on the snowshoe and cross-country skiing trails. So for 45 minutes a friend and I ran/jogged around on such trails to mix up our training from the same old same old, this helps keep training exciting and fun, instead of doing the same thing over and over. Next, my friend dropped me off(thanks Mariah) so that I could spend a few hours on the mounain bike, navigating over new terrain and finding my way back home in Boise. In the pictures you can see the fun on my face along with the powerbar and fruit and nut bar mom made (thanks mom), with a minor scare from what I thought was a rattlesnake. Next time there seems to be too much "same old: in your life "mix it up" with something new, that way when someone asks "what have you been up to?" Your response will go from "Oh just the same old stuff", to .................
