Ooooh. This will be so good for my dad! I’m going to make some minor modifications and pass this on!

I love your idea of naming workouts! I am going to borrow that too! I liked your “Road to Tahoe” training plan in your book and your “66 Mustang” training plan for your parents.

But I can tell you right now that my dad will not appreciate “Road to 90“ as the title. lol. He is not a fan of the concept of aging. I think I’m going to name progressively different workouts for hikes that he likes in Yosemite…

Thanks for being an inspiration Wendy! And for generously sharing this with us .

This is great. As a kid you made your parents sweat, now as a successful adult you continue to make them sweat, albeit in a much less stressful manner.

As a 77 yo I have to admit I take offense at the title, The road to 90. What do you mean 90!? Did your fingers slip on the keyboard? Surely you meant 110!

Certainly the author has a new workout waiting called Road to 100 when her mom gets to 90. Road to 110 comes after that!
