Setting New Goals This Week-It's Mountain Fitness For Me

This morning was a tough one. The goal was to get up the mountain before the sun rise. One very big reason is I am having a tough time getting to bed early. The spring/summer days leaves me working outside till sun down. For those of you who are paying attention, you know that the sun does not come down early. We are heading towards the longest day of the year. My life work on the farm is moving at a fast pace.

Starting up that steep hill I noticed right away that my legs were tired and it was cold. It was 39 degrees! I had to put on two pairs of pants and 4 shirts. Coldness like that makes you want to stay cuddled up in a warm blanket.

During my forms and natural body workout the gravel seemed more slippery than usual and I felt like my eyes would not open all the way. My eyes eventually opened up and my body moved a little better. I am incredibly thankful I have the mountain as my gym. I am a nature woman and my mountain gym is a perfect match for me!

I have set new goals for this week and I am on my path.. I will be stepping it up each week.

Side note: It is vitally important that we all exercise. I would love to here what are your kung fu goals, fitness goals and eating health goals are ?
