A story of physical transformation at 60.

This post is not about how to avoid injuries or rehab from them. It is about the mental and spiritual aspects of getting injured and how to change your paradigm when (not if) you get injured.

A while back (can’t remember when, or even who the first person was who thought this up) my group of “dedicated” friends (I prefer this adjective to “crazy” for my ultrarunning family) floated the idea of doing the Big Horn Ultra in Sheridan, WY.

The Carnivore Diet stems from the controversial belief that human ancestral populations ate mostly meat and fish and that high-carb diets are to blame for today’s high rates of chronic disease.

So, the latest: The Ketogenic Diet. (or simpler: Low Carb / High Fat - LCHF diet). This diet has actually been around since the 1920s, as research has shown that it is one of the only effective interventions for drug-resistant Epilepsy seizures.

Who would have thought it? When I started this journey, i my goal was to (as it is with all nutritional plans, exercise programs, new equipment, new supplements, etc) "test drive" this plan so I could come from a place of experience and integrity when, and if, I chose to recommend this plan to clients and friends.

In January of 2018 I was signed up for the Mountain Mist 50k, the site of my first ever ultra in 2009 and still to this day one of my favorite, if not my favorite, race of the year. I had a great race at the DRT 30k and continued with excellent training through the winter and felt the best I had in years for that race.
