I have family in Arizona, my cousin posted this a while back. Looks like a cool place to spend some time.

Up around Flagstaff or somewhere else in N. Arizona? I loved the Flagstaff area, but ugh, not much the rest of the state.

I'm not really sure what part they're in, but she posts a lot of pretty pictures

Put in a mile for each year of sobriety I’m celebrating today. Feels good to look back at the last 6 years and not feel like I threw them away.

You’re one of the folks who motivated me and showed that things can be great without alcohol. I just wish I made the move 5 years earlier.

You can post that when you’re past sixty-five, not before.

Honestly, Slice, lean into your fifties. You’re still an alpha male.

Got my couch to 5k session in late last night. 10 minutes total of warm up/cool down with six, 1.5 minute runs that are broken up by 2 minute walks. Afterwards I was feeling pretty good so I walked an additional 2 miles.

Morning ride: 24.74 miles. Forgot to bring my phone with me, so no additional ap details.

Afternoon run/walk C25k session. Decided to run on a hiking trail and continue hiking after the run.

Forgot to post. Got my c25k session in yesterday. Didn't record the distance this time.

Don't want to do multiple posts in a row. Did my run session again followed by a couple miles walking 11/21

Day off morning hike with my brothers.

Not built for the cold

Temps in the high 30s with 13mph winds gusting to 26… I elected not to ride this morning.

That cold weather ain’t fun on a bike, is it?

Trail Race Sunday morning. Half marathon distance. Tough event.

Definitely made strategic decisions on when to walk portions of the uphill or muddy/slippery sections. 10:49 average pace according to my tracker.

Thought I'd summarize the last week in one post. I took a break from running because the week before I had some serious shin splints. Instead, I walked several miles each day to get some low impact exercise.

I returned to running yesterday and did a trail run that continued into a hike. Got to see some deer and a lot of exercise. Ignore the last 0.2 miles, I forgot to turn off all trails as I pulled out of the parking lot.

I'm trying to work on that now. Keep it up man that's great.

I appreciate it!

You got this.

Two things that always help me:

Remembering why I wanted to stop drinking and reminding myself of that.

Realizing that EVERYTHING I enjoyed while drinking, is as enjoyable if not better sober.
