health/body rehab

Yesterday marked the beginning of the health/body rehab.

Over the last year I haven't felt that focused physically. Even after spending 2 months in Central America getting my 200 & 500 hour yoga teacher certifications - or more precisely, during that process I lost my momentum, and have had a hard time regaining it. Yoga is amazing, and will always likely be a part of my life, but I need to cultivate adrenaline through my activities, clear my head, and expend some energy. Biking and Skiing for me are active meditation!


Fact that has been ringing in my ears for the last couple years - much more prominent this March @ 29 -

The bones are strongest at age 30; after that age, deterioration may exceed the rate of new bone formation unless the individual exercises and eats properly. Exercise regularly to build bone density, keep your bones strong and prevent future deterioration. Develop an eating plan that provides about 1,200mg to 1,500mg of calcium and 800 units of vitamin D daily, recommends the Merck Manual...


Good sources of calcium include green leafy vegetables, sardines and salmon with bones, and calcium-fortified foods 
Vitamin D sources include fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna; liver; egg yolks

15.6 Miles (1 hr) road ride - around Wash Park Denver 

Sprinted the first and the last lap. Spent the whole time focusing on a consistent cadence and my pedal stroke. Talked my way through the last 2 laps. A very nice gentleman rode up to me and commented on my pedaling - saying I must be a regular rider - as I have great form. I keep my heal down (??) This would have to be my 4th road ride ever. Felt good to hear that.
