Wow, grandkids!! My daughter is 12. I am certainly old enough to have a few but I certainly have a ways to go.

I have a simple plan for getting into shape for ski season: never get out of shape!!

On a more serious note, after 25 years of endurance athletics and racing on and off in that span, I am cycling less and strength training much more. It has helped a ton. My body was out of balance and was lacking strength. I will up the strength training starting in October.

As I get older the strength training and plyometrics seem to pay bigger and bigger dividends.

First snow in Montana on Thrusday!! It won't be long now!!
