Spring into action

Now that we have more light in the evenings, time to spring into action and get in those workouts. The new Seattle Rock N Roll training group started with several motivated runners and walkers! Not too late to join in if you haven't already.

The Saturday bike and 1/2 IM training had it's first ride of the season last weekend. Always a good sign, we started with a little drizzle before the skies cleared and stayed gray, hmm is that possible to have gray clear skies?

Happy Heart Day

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to do a workout. What kind you say, any kind is fine! Be it cardio or strength, work your heart and you will be happier. Oh and did I mention to do it friend or partner too, then it becomes doubly as good.

Spring is on the way. Get motivated, get a goal and GO!

We earned our chocolate hearts with a hill workout!

Gifts and Resolutions

It's nearing the end of the traditional gift giving and resolution making season. But the best gift we can give ourselves all year long is the gift of health and fitness. Make exercise and healthy eating a part of your lifestyle and give them priority in your life.

Happy New Year to all and wishing you a new year of fun, fitness and success.
