Backpacking Banff

A few weeks ago I finally got out “backpacking”. I use quotes because the hike from the car was only about 50 yards. I had planned to go to Barrier Lake and had even booked a spot. This was the fist weekend in October. “You are the only one there booked for the whole weekend …

HIIT

Finding Inspiration

Posted on April 7, 2013April 7, 2013 by

Life is a never ending ladder of challenges, accomplishments and failures. Right now I’ve been trying to get back to a level of fitness that has evaded me for the last few years. In addition to diet, exercise and focus we often neglect inspiration. It’s important to keep that tank filled. I found this on American …
