Blog changes

Thanks to everyone who followed Training Because I Can! over the last nine years. This blog started with Addison's Disease, hypothyroidism and a crazy idea of doing an Ironman distance triathlon. My life has changed and so has this blog. I am using this blog strictly for Addison's Support topics from here on out. I hope to continue providing people with hints for living life well with adrenal insufficiency.

2007 coming to an end

The gym membership is up and A & I enjoyed our last day by (mis)using every piece of equipment in the gym. I'm not renewing because the cost relatively high compared to the services. Very sad because I like to get out of the house and workout. My garage is very cold...more about that in a minute.

A & I on the last day. You can't tell from the picture but we're wearing the same shirt. We didn't dress alike on purpose!


We got all of the stability balls out and threw them at each other and kicked them around.
FUN!!




Really, really messing around. Weight belt attached to the rubber band attached to the chin up bar. Not comfortable.


In addition, we hit the treadmills and put them up to 15% grade and 8.3 miles an hour. A is much stronger than I and lasted longer. It's hard to run fast when you're laughing very hard.




The temperature a couple of mornings ago. Typical of Teton Valley, Idaho. The cold winter temperatures and long, dark days are the reason we set up the "gym" in the garage.




The treadmill is new. The weights, weight bench and rowing machine came from the See N Save!


This picture has nothing to do with the above pictures. It's a beautiful Teton Valley sunset.

I hear you did GTR 50 last year and are doing GTR 100 in 2008. I did the 100 in 2007...fun stuff. Hope to see you there.

Bob,

MINUS 11 is just the beginning. It's still Fall!!!

Allison, the woman in the gym pictures, is our official Margarita girl for the GTR 100.
