    Exercise: Yes, 40 minutes of walking
    Calories: Yes, well under
    Tracking: Yes

    I haven't been very active this week, but I've been maintaining good deficits and doing at least the minimum exercise. Again, membership in this group has been great for keeping me on track.

    yes, yes, yes, ...

    Humid but cool when I started anyway. I exercised off the deep end today. I climbed for four hours. Partway up that climb I got in a conversation with an equestrian. She told me about her bike riding days. Conversation went in this weird direction where we both acknowledged that we would rather climb than descend.

    I told her that climbing is kind of like a meditation for me. I settle into it. It is slow. I look at everything. I think about stuff.

    My heart felt good so I ran it out tighter. My knees felt good so I kept going.

    I got this new fitness tracker watch and it kept giving me badges and kudos and stuff. So I pressed on.

    Epic climb. I seen a lot of deer. The weather changes. You go up it gets cold. Back down it is warm and hot again.

    picture I should have took... there is a lot of wild horses by where I go. I seen a wild horse on a guy's porch. Heh! Imagine going outside and finding a horse on your porch.

    I climbed a pretty big mountain today. I always think that I ain't gonna be able to do that any more. I take a couple stabs at it falling short.

    Then the right day comes and I climb that baby to the top.
