PUTTING THE FUN BACK INTO FITNESS
Pardon the Dust as I Change Things Up!
Yep, this website has a brand new look and structure but "still under construction" -- so please excuse the temporary stock photos and sparse blog posts!
So why the change?
Because I believe life is much more than how I fared in a 5K race or senior games' cycling time trial.
It's about how I ENJOYED what I'm (still) doing, ALL THE PLACES I'm doing it, and what I THINK about this way of living and the things that can IMPACT how we experience it.
Here's a glimpse of what's in store...

Walking + Bicycling + Places to Explore
Let's Get Started
Articles, videos, resource guides, and much more are in the works to highlight the joys of walking, bicycling, and the places to enjoy them.
We'll also look at the things that impact our ability to lead a healthy, active lifestyle such as strength and mobility, mind set, and advocacy ranging from health to urban planning.
Let's Connect!
In the meantime, let's connect on the "Interwebs" because I'd love to know more about where you're at on your journey of fitness and active living. Here's where you'll find me:
LET'S GO WALKING, BICYCLING & EXPLORING!
Walking
Travel: Places to Walk & Bike
Bicycling
Walking is what we humans do. Whether you opt for daily casual strolls, fitness walking for overall wellness, or take up the sports of power walk or race walk for motivation or competition, you'll discover that walking is one of the most accessible, affordable, and appealing exercises around.
Bicycling

Bicycling
The bicycle has been a symbol and a means of women’s freedom of movement. What catches your fancy? A road bike for senior games' racing? A mountain bike to enjoy nature? How about an electric three-wheel adult trike for stability and comfort? Saddle up, let's ride!

What better way to stay motivated about fitness than to plan a trip to a destination with walkable communities and routes to explore? I'll share information and details about destinations that welcome us walkers and bicyclists!
TOPICS THAT IMPACT ACTIVE LIVING
Strength & Mobility
Perhaps the best benefit I get from my walk and bicycle training programs is having the strength, agility, and endurance needed for daily living. Maintaining -- even gaining -- my muscle mass, sense of balance, coordination, reaction time, and more will help me live independently for as long as possible.
Mind Games
Dare to dream big! Try something scary or new. Let's look at how limiting beliefs, age-old myths, and unrealistic expectations set by society, advertisers, and even ourselves keep us stuck. Our journey toward improved fitness and joyful living begins with how we think about ourselves.
Advocacy
Advocacy
Meet the people -- individuals, activists, community organizers, urban planners -- across the United States and Canada working to 1) protect open spaces, 2) improve roadway safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and 3) encouraging women to bike, walk, run, and more in their communities.
