It’s about the pursuit. It’s about the journey. It’s about the time you put in. It’s about the grind. There are no guarantees to what’s on the other side of effort. There can still be joy and gratitude in the process... #upwardandonward (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

I’ve been susceptible to some sickness the past couple of months. I’m back at it today. This workout seems like it shouldn’t be much but it really hits some of my weak areas (ie: range of motion in my foot, core strength, etc.)... still bringing it though. #P90X2core #spartantrifecta2018 #grrr (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

It was a groovin’ yoga induced flop sweat today folks... 🧘‍♀️

So, I’m not sure what got into me. I haven’t had a clean shave for about four years. I guess I missed seeing my chin.... ahem... chins... 😏😒 😊 It feels REALLY weird.

I visited my Dad’s gravesite this morning. I shared the sunrise with him. It’s been a year. Some tears were shed. Resolutions were set. There was not the snow that we had last year, but his memory and love remain. #afatherslove (at Dubois, Idaho)

We went snowshoeing today. It was fun and we plan on doing more of it. It was nice to go the the Lava Hot Springs hot pools afterward. Good day with people I love. (at Mink Creek, Idaho)

Got it done... on to other gratitude practices on this day of thanks. #goalsdonttakevacations #spartantrifecta2018 #agingisforidiots (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

This week was a poor nutrition week for me. Workouts happened but execution and performance suffered. Just didn’t have the fuel ⛽️ in the tank. #fridayfightonsaturday #agingisforidiots #agingisreal #spartantrifecta2018 (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

Starting week two... it’s nice to see some improvement. #digdeeper #agingisforidiots #agingisreal #InsanityMax30 #cardiochallenge

There are a few things on my mind this morning. I need to work my work core... #weak #fornow I sometimes worry about a putting out to the IG world a spirit of arrogance. This was difficult to post as there is a more than fair amount of “jiggle” while punching my belly. 😕 Next, I feel a sense of gratitude that I no longer need to use those crutches in the background. It’s been several months and things continue to improve. I feel blessed and fortunate for that. Lastly... man, I get crazy sweaty after a 30-minute workout. 😁💪🏼 (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

Still pushing... This week back on it has been a challenge with #insanitymax30 Basketball season is starting so I’m getting back into shape of running up and down the court chasing “young ‘uns” faster and more athletic than I. My quads and hammies have started to cramp up on me a bit. It’s mostly been in the evening as I get ready for bed. Sooooo... it’s been a week of ibuprofen and going to work smelling of bengay. In the immortal words Roger Murtaugh, “I’m getting to old for this...” well, you get the point. 😁#digdeeper #agingisreal #agingisforidiots #spartantrifecta2018

With the soreness and the aches of “not being as young as I used to be,” this rings true for me today... #everythinghurts #stillbringingit (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

Different version of my #sweatypic. I was dripping while we read the scriptures this morning. Everyone else? Tired and under blankets. 😏 Walking to work, still a little bit of afterburn sweat. #nastysweaty #goals #spartantrifecta2018 #digdeeper

Blah!.... This week feels like starting over. I haven’t done a @shaunt workout for a few years for a variety of reasons. Well, I need a bunch of help getting that Spartan trifecta in 2018 and it begins now.... Ok, it began yesterday... 😁#goals #agingisforidiots #aginggoals (at Blackfoot, Idaho)

Because I have the best mom in the whole world 🌎 who loves and knows me.... 😏 Now we just need to decide where to display our kind family greeting. 😁

Ok... yoga is work. I confess that it is a practice of letting go of my ego. I'm by no means a huge power lifter but I like to lift weights and do workouts that are "high-impact intense" like jumping, burpees, etc. I am running more although I don't consider myself a runner. At best, I'm a jogger. 😏 That being said, yoga tests me and makes me sweat. I am not flexible and if I am to at least battle Father Time a little, my core and flexibility need much more of my attention. Here's to day 4 of said attention. Upward and onward, y'all. 😁✌🏼#spartanup #upwardandonward
