Why Do I Train?
Someone asked a while back about why I train. I dunno. I don’t really have an answer for that. I suppose, in a nutshell, the standard stuff; live well, be able to move around, not be a burden on the already over burdened health care system.
What A Bowl Of Ice Cream Looks Like the Next Day
Probably not the answer this person was looking for, I think they wanted to hear something like some sort of competition. That has crossed my mind (not the one with the skimpy shorts, though, a kettlebell competition), but injuries and such have plagued me that last while.
At this point I don’t really have an end to the means. I have a few ideas in mind, but nothing written in stone. More on those another time when there is something a bit more concrete.
I guess why I train, as I sit in 30 degree weather, is to be able to eat ice cream. Sounds weird, but lets say a bowl of ice cream with some goodies on top is 400 calories. I dunno, might be more, might be less, but whatever. Knocking out a kettlebell workout that burns about that much lets me get away with it. So, for the most part, I can enjoy that bowl of ice cream virtually guilt free. Now, if I had some sort of competition or goal in mind, it might a different story.
But, for where I am in my life right now, I train to eat ice cream.

I’m doing it because (at 42) statistically, I will decline in muscle mass and flexibility and bone density and gain weight in my middle with menopause, and I want to hike the West Coast Trails someday… even if I’m 60.
