Looks like I am marking you down as a fave and looking forward to future posts and out of this world pics.<br />Your comments on age and measuring what you do only to gauge how much you have left in the tank definitely hit a cord with me since I do it too!<br />Having been a competitive athlete all my life, age shows up more noticeable when you track your fitness level.<br />Suffice it to say however, that at 56 I am in better shape than most 20 year olds which in this day in age isn't saying much!<br />Obviously you are doing great and its people like you that serve as my inspiration!<br />Looking forward to some more great posts!<br /><br />GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-26199281995856488102013-07-09T18:23:29.993-06:002013-07-09T18:23:29.993-06:00Beautiful shot with the columbine in the foregroun...Beautiful shot with the columbine in the foreground and the shadow on the mountain in the distance.

I need to get back into shape. Baby steps, Cheryl - baby steps.<br /><br />I've started making a smoothie every a.m. with this pea protein stuff called Alive - with almond milk, a small banana, and frozen blueberries. Care to share the recipe for your smoothie?

I am using the heat, and humidity and wind as excuses not to be out doing something everyday. I occasionally will go out bike riding early in the morning when it is only in the 80's, but I do not get out nearly enough. I am feeling very out of shape while reading your blog posts.

You seem to be able to accomplish more in a week than I can in a month. <br /><br />I know you have concerns and even a few aches and pains, but for the most part, I see you two as positive role models for many of us especially when it comes to living a conscious, active, creative and fit lifestyle.

I love the reddish lichen. I don't recall see any quite that red. And I am in love with the Red Mountains. I can't wait to see them. <br /><br />I will remember your offer to take us above when we finally return.
