Grizzly Peak Again

Today I hiked Grizzly Peak with Clista and a large group of boys from her school. Somehow, what was going to be a moderate intensity 5 mile hike/run turned into a 7-8 mile high intensity adventure. At about the 1.5 - 2 mile mark after a fair amount of trail running, one of the boys twisted his ankle, so I ran back down the trail to the car to grab some additional first aid supplies and ran back up with them (that was a nice workout). Then a few of the boys, one of the other adults on the hike and myself helped carry and assist the injured hiker back down.....it's a real workout carrying someone your own size piggyback down a mountain trail......a nice challenge and a decent little workout for the day.
Fun times were had by all!!

Hmmm...............

With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
