So, has been a few weeks since last post. Have to admit I have really slipped off the wagon these last few weeks. First was my birthday then our annual pig roast a week after. I am still tracking...

Thought I would pop in for a quick update. At 665 km as of today. I did have a small bike accident and pulled a calf muscle. Lots of pain and stiffness, so that is slowing me down quite a lot. Still...

I never thought about naming my kayaks. I live on a river and they sit down on the dock when not in use. I did write my name and phone number in them with sharpie just in case they get borrowed or...

Haven't posted in awhile, but blew through 500 this month (YTD @ 526). Will add another 8 km today, with walk at lunch and then home from work. Need to walk more during the weekends though,...

Have not posted since the beginning of the month. Still at it, nothing much has changed. I am riding my bike to work much more now as the weather has improved. Still dodging rain cells or getting a...

Tuesday

Can't say why but posting to this journal has slowed significantly the past few weeks. I am still totally on the program, in fact, probably more so, considering the amount of exercise and...

Hmmm, going back to the OP. I totally agree. Going Vibrams or any barefoot alternative can be hard without throwing running/jogging into the equation. My n=1; bought a couple pair of Vivo's, trail...

334 as of May 30. I feel like I am really getting up into the middle of the pack at last. Averaging 2.25 km/day. My average is going up though and if I can get to a bit over 3 km/day I can still...

Wednesday

So made it through the 3 day weekend pretty well. Really ran up the tab on my "20%" though. Actually ate some tortilla chips, lol. I had a long discussion with a friend about uping my...

We here in the NW are going through what I like to call our yearly seasonal "head fake". Beginning of May was great, so good it washed all the bad memories of the last 6 months of rain away. Then,...

Ya, I got a stash of Kerrygold in the office fridge. Someone came the break room the other day and caught me slicing a hunk off into my coffee. Besides the bottles of water, the Kerrygold is by far...

Too many!! I don't wear even half of them.

To make matters worse, I am wearing my Vivo trail runners everyday now, without socks. Got 2 new pairs of Keens in the closet and have not wore them at...

I have been feeling a lot like you describe myself lately. Not in college, but stress at home and work is a bit much lately. Live in the Pacific Northwest and we are going through a classic NW head...

Thursday

Really quiet at work today. Drinking too much coffee on days like this. Too much stress at home. Is it any wonder why I am not losing these last few pounds?

Raining this morning and...

I live on a river, have a dock in my backyard. Canoe, kayak, swim (good for CT), hang out on the dock and drink bourbon. Lots of gardening work, especially this time of the year.

Wednesday

Still raining, come on. This is the time of year that I really despise. I can put up with months of grey and rain, but once the weather does start to turn nice, and you get used to it,...

Crappy weather since last post. Have been off bike since Sunday due to rain. Really missing the bike. Still working out with KB 3x/week and moving slowly, but the bike commute is really nice. My heel...

Finally getting caught up to some of you (even passing a few). Will this week at peak of over 50km. Total now at 274km. Taking advantage of the weather and walking to/from work every day. The best...

So I have pretty sun tolerant skin. Brown hair, brown eyes. Since I was a kid, I would burn once, beginning of the summer, then just get tan for the rest of the summer. Eating SAD I would burn...

Rode bike to work again today. What a rush, it really is fun to this. The best part is looking forward to the ride home. Eating a whole lot better this week; carbs are a bit high for the week,...

Just lost a huge post....good one too, dammit

Let's see;
- great weekend
- wife back from Maui
- unbelievable weather this week, kind of like a early payoff considering the shit we have to put...

Getting into the habit of logging food and posting updates again. Strange sense of anxiety the last couple of days. Had a real jones for nicotine yesterday. My mind is playing tricks on me. Almost...

So back from a week in Maui. First vacation I have had in 3 years. Did pretty well, food wise, but actually did not care for a week. Had a couple of "bad" days I guess, but did not worry about it....

Friday

This may be my last post for awhile as I am leaving for a week in Maui tomorrow morning. This is my first vacation in a very long time and my sole mission is going to be elimination of...

Hey thanks much. I have forced myself to take a week off from walks and all other activities to rehab the heel. Was beginning to worry me. I am leaving for a week in Maui tomorrow and want to be able...
