30 mile Fayetteville loop...

I got out this morning and did the Fayetteville loop down by Cedar Creek. I made a pretty good trip but the lack of high energy food has me feeling a little less energetic. Yesterday I rode to Sycamore and did very well. The extra riding may be making me tired. I have a lot more training time to prepare for September and perhaps I will be ready.

The long ride...

Today I made a 19 mile mountain bike ride. This ride came in sloppy, muddy, sandy soil making the distance seem so much farther. I had hoped to make a 20 mile ride before heading down to Florida. It would be my graduation. I guess I am ready for the Safari.

240

All those PEANUT BUTTER sandwiches and pop-tarts have taken the toll. I am up to 240 lbs. Now the need for a diet is critical. I had success eating low calorie density foods when I lost weight 2 years ago. I am at that crossroad again. I have to get somewhere and do some meditation to get my mind set to do the weight loss I need. I wish I were off in the mornings again so I could do the morning hikes up the mountain. I'll have to make some adaptation to get it done.

The man in the Moon...

On this date in 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon. I don't know if I remember the actual day or just recall one of the many replays I've seen of the moon landing. I can hear Neil say, "One small step...". It was really something for a kid. We all watched Star Trek and saw the mission to the moon as a stepping stone. Here after all these years, we haven't got very far with manned space flight. It isn't important. If it's "giant leaps" we are after, there are plenty to be had.
