Silver Fox Personal Training

I have to say that I feel really good today!
I haven’t felt this good in months! As a family we made some changes to our diet and that’s really agreeing with me, and mentally I feel more like myself.

Here’s just some of my gear laid out in preparation for the backpacking trip I’m going on in a couple of days. I’m going on a guided hike on the Northville Placid Trail. For those of you wondering- yes- I did remember to pack my hiking boots this time 😂

I am so blessed to have a family that encourages me to get out and explore! I had planned on hiking a high peak but when I got out there this morning my legs felt like lead. I kept hoping that things would change but they didn’t and after I almost tripped a couple of times I decided to turn around. I must say that I had a very enjoyable return trip back to the Lodge. I really took my time, took lots of pictures and after a little nap- went for a swim in Heart Lake.

I am definitely in my happy place!!!

Last summer, before my knee replacement, I was attempting to summit Phelps Mt in the Adirondacks and got stuck only about 250’ from the summit. I was so disappointed. I’m going to try again mid June. Reservations are made and even if I can’t do it, at least I will have tried. Never give up, even if you have to compromise and change your original plans, I will be in the mountains and loving every minute of it!

I just hung up my last medal. My running days are over but it was a really good “run”. No pun intended.

Here I am again! As I drove down the Loj Rd, I heard thunder in the distance and it did rain for a bit, but I was able to get a swim in Heart Lake after dinner. Tomorrow is a very big day! A guided hike to Mt. Marshall. Can’t wait to tell you all about it! Now it’s time for bed.

I had a really good workout today! I’m getting ready for a backpacking trip in September and today was my first day of training. I really tried to to stay focused and concentrate on the muscles that I will need for hiking. Today was back and biceps, and I visualized holding my trekking poles and the muscles I will need to scramble over boulders and fallen trees. You will always get more out of your workouts if you keep in mind what it is that you’re working towards.

Goals for 2023. It’s good to be accountable.

Tabata!!!
Tomorrow 5:15 and 6 am!
