"Hiking around Tucson"

Tucson is a great little city to visit. Tucson is sunny 350 days a year so there is nothing to hinder the hiking and any other fun you would like to have. You have your choice of spas, horseback riding, a day at the museum or the opportunity to spend the day selecting from a number of mini hikes all around the area. The hiking trails are plentiful and cover a wide range of terrain and vegetation, wildlife and spectacular views. Posted with this blog are some photos of recent hikes that I have taken in the last couple of weeks. When planning your next hiking trip you could do worse than visiting Tucson.

"Nutrition Tips for February"

Two products which I would like to recommend for a look see this month are Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola and Super Advanced WHEY protein.

The Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola is an excellent source of Ala Omega-3, has zero grams of trans fat, 6 grams protein and high in fiber and is totally organic, and made in a kitchen rather than a lab. This product is put out by Nature's Path at www.naturepath.com. Great mixed with yogurt in the morning. Locally available in health food stores, and at Costco.

The Super Advanced WHEY protein was purchased at Wal*Mart, and is relatively inexpensive. This is an excellent source of the essential amino acids required for supporting lean muscle and exercise recovery.

"Arizona celebrates 100 years of Statehood"

Arizona Statehood came on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1912 – coincidentally, exactly 50 years after the Confederates had first declared Arizona a territory. Movie cameras recorded President Taft signing the proclamation, the first time this technology had ever chronicled such an event.

This week, Arizona has been proudly celebrating its centennial birthday!
