I am gregarious. I am loyal. I'm opinionated. I care deeply. I find the casual nature of certain things offensive, yet I am laid back. I love animals. I'm a competitor. I believe in good manners. I have a big mouth. Sometimes I don't have a filter. I love food and drink. I cherish my family. I love my friends more than anything. I am reliable. I am quirky. I miss my dad every single day. I don't believe in half-assed. I am an environmentalist. I'm half a hippie. I get high from seeing/hearing live music. "Hi, I'm Steph, wanna play?!" quote by, Ward MacDonald

Couple days off, bested time on the rim and the Ice Chamber

I took a couple of days off from calorie counting and working out. I had a work function and in general, some busy evenings, so I decided to cut myself some slack. I think I've found my new fitness facility, though!!! Like, for realsies this time. One of my obligations last night was an appointment for a tour of the Ice Chamber. It was off-the-chain! www.icechamber.com The facility is awesome, super clean, well equipped, big, professional, lots of free parking and outside space. Most importantly, though, they have a class that is a step beyond boot-camp, so hopefully I won't be encountering that nasty plateauing biz again. My membership will represent a lateral move in terms of cost, with the ability to go 5X/week for hour long classes. Chica-Chica-YeeeeeAHHH! Joe can go and hang with us in the gym OR they have a frickin' lounge with a flat-screen where he can hang with any wee ones that might be there with their parents. WOOF-WOOF!
I'sss love me some kettlebells!!!

Back to the rim trail tonight!!! It was gorgeous up there at dusk -- pink skies illuminating the mountains, fog in the distance. It almost blocked out some of the pain. Almost.
One of the hills. Weeeeeeeeeeeee........
I'm going to start stepping up the number of these runs per week now that we're 50 days out from Tough Mudder.
