The Punisher

Since today was probably going to be my last trail run/hike of 2012, I decided to make it a good one and I headed to The Punisher.....and it was AWESOME!!!
There was snow on the sides of the trail for the first half of the way up and then it covered the trail with up to almost a foot the rest of the way. Going down the other side and down the road was a real test of my agility, balance, joint stability and core strength due to some extremely slick and unpredictable conditions.....in other words, it couldn't have been any better!

This isn't even close to the steepest part of the Punisher. And the snow got a lot deeper than this too.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. 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.
