Ramblings....

I suppose my mind set is producing some effect. I am down to 199 on my scale. I kept this diary in part to record some of my thinking or some of my mindset to help me when I found myself gaining weight and unable to jump start a new weight program. This time the idea of constantly reminding myself if the present action helped or hindered my progress has prevailed. Yesterday I did get careless and ate too many slices of pizza followed by cookies. But I added up the number of calories over and added to my evening run to compensate. Can't do that all the time but good to know I had the strength to do it.

No word from the principle parties for my overnight backpack. Paul is in. Everyone else is a maybe or no. No word from many of the folks. Barry, Mitch, Emory, and Andy are all maybes. No word from Kirk. Perry is a no.

My additional running last night made my knee a little sore. I think it was the incline more than the time. I did 50 minutes but the first half was at 4% grade. Tonight I'll do a conventional amount. That will put me over 100 miles for this year. Soon bike riding will be back. Maybe Saturday morning.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
