Powder Monkey

A recent college grad's pursuit of the healthy, active life.

Powder Monkey is the name of the trail that first made me fall in love with the trail running, mountain biking and eventually any and all outdoor adventures!

  • “Have to” vs “get to”

    Over the past few weeks I’ve been bogged down with my physics class. When I’m not working, I’m studying and when I’m not studying, I don’t want to do anything else. This has definitely cut into my workout time.

    Since my first test was postponed one week, I now have extra time to study AND exercise as much as I would like. What I’ve noticed about this unplanned rest from my normal gym routine (excluding my weekend half marathon :) is the refreshing change from “I have to go workout tonight” to “get to!” I love feeling excited about getting to be healthy and move and improve my body. I love when it doesn’t feel like a chore, although in this new year is has never felt that way like it has in years past.

    Hour & 1/2 or so of cardio and strength training tonight. Work, class, and rest tomorrow. My favorite duathlon with Johanna on Friday: rock climbing followed directly by a nice, long trail run. :)

    Hope you’re all having a good week!
