put daily physical stresses on their body through exercise, maintaining
healthy nutrition levels through good eating and taking supplements is
important to keeping our “engines” running. And when that occasional injury throws us off course, our body needs more help than ever with healing.

summit of El Capitan in November 1958, he and various partners had
completed what was, by far, the most difficult rock climb in the world. Up until Harding’s ascent of The Nose, the longest rock climbs ever
completed had required up to five days of effort. Harding and his team
broke new psychological ground by spending 47 days spread over 18
months to complete the 3,000-foot climb. (See what happens Oct. 12th, 2008)

A marathon? Child's play. Running 100 miles, cycling for 1,000 miles? Now we're talking.

On this early September
morning, with dawn slowly breaking, the 51-year-old state worker who
lives in the Campus Commons section of Sacramento, decided she needed
something stronger than Starbucks iced tea. So she ducked into the
Safeway next door and downed a Red Bull.And now she's in the parking lot and ready to hit the road.
Only Moss has no car. And she left her bicycle and in-line skates at home.
