  • Tracking... where am I? Back posting. Tracking not that great. A little bit off to a bad start. Exercise though... I have upped my game. I picked up a raft of new PRs. Personal records. A lot of that has to do with me being out cranking in new territory. I have a tracker watch but I don't really count steps. I only count…
  • Tracking is good for today but yet another consecutive day of miniscule exercise. Oh, wait, I mowed the lawn. That ain't really exercise though. I will make it up tomorrow. Think I will go to the altitude camp for a few days. I been known to do a morning exercise binge and an afternoon excursion. Time flies. I can't…
  • Tracking, tracking, tracking. I measured pretty diligently and stopped short of going over but I didn't really get qualifying exercise. I bought a package of peanut m&ms threw more than half of them away. I do that sometimes. I get something that I don't figure I can eat a whole "serving" of and I throw it away rather than…
  • ok tracking. got qualifying exercise. Rode to the bike shop. Took the long way home. Kind of warm out. Still basking in the memory of my camping trip. I might go back there on Monday. I put this picture remembering that I got kind of lost. The trail turns kind of feral here. There is not really a path. So this is the way I…
  • I found a place that a horseman would likely consider paradise.
  • I can kind of say tracking, tracking, that is two. But I didn't really do much that counts for exercise. So I ain't got all three. Here I sit remembering a sublime journey into the woods. Heh, memory of exercise. I don't guess I will try counting that. I think about the sound of that elk crooning to his paramour. It wasn't…
  • tracking, tracking, tracking yes, yes, tes, My favorite is exercise. I found a sign that seemed to be talking to me. I spend hours on a road and see not a soul. Heh, do elk have souls? I camp in a tiny little pup tent and am awakened before it is all the way light by the sound of elk bugling. I get out of my tent wearing…
  • IT IS RAINING !!!
  • tracking cals, tracking exercise, tracking budget, exercise off the deep end. Not really. They gonna close the forest effective 8a so I get up at 4a so I can get some riding in before closing. I got the place to myself. I got these bicycle pants that are in two layers. Outer layer is polyester and has pockets. Inner layer…
  • Tracking, tracking ... I am kind of depressed. I shouldn't put that on a support blog. What kind of support or encouragement is that? I put pictures on here sometimes of the beauty places I go for exercise. My favorite place in the world is on fire right now. It is burning to unrecognizable. I got a cool new rent bike to…
  • June 10 Tracking, tracking, tracking I got a lot of exercise calories today. Mr Wizard is telling me upwards of 1200. I can only do that a couple or three times a week. I am up to 90,000 feet of climbing for this year. So since the year is half gone, I am kind of behind the curve for matching last year's climb. I put my…
  • June 9, Heh, here is me pushing the join button days after the cut off. Tracking - I been tracking but I got to get more concise about it. My wife is on a "fad" diet. She is losing weight but she doesn't feel good. I think she is going to have to "recover" from that diet and I can only think that means tracking. Yesterday…
  • Not in the circle. I am all out of whack with my tracking. Got back from camping. Wife and I are both down a couple of pounds. Sometimes I talk about food box method for tracking. I think that is like what people say when they pre-log their cals. So my food box is kind of tracking but I really can't say concise for…
  • Beauty big time on them pics! ... thanks!
  • Heh! Went climbing this morning for 2,000. That ain't bad for my age group. Seen a bear. Tried to get a picture but he (maybe she) was trying everything to get away. Bad luck to crowd a bear that is trying to get away, I say. Last day of school. No more lunch with my little Buddy. His mom likes me. I probably get to see…
  • I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of a swan.
  • Way too early for me to be saying anything about my spectacular dietary discipline. But I am sitting at my console kind of mesmerized by a beauty day. I exercised. Got one and a half hill repeats up that hill. So that is like 1600 of climbing if I round up. NSV - got an unambiguous compliment at the trailhead parking. Try…
  • I think that white horse might be pregnant.
  • NSV - Complimented? I didn't really get complimented but I feel complimented when a teacher asks my what gym I go to or if I go to Planet Fitness. I ain't a body builder. Bike riders actually have kind of weenie arms so I don't know. Then I see that teacher as I am biking up the hill on my way in. She and a pal are doing…
  • I went pretty far off the rails today. No exercise. Had ice cream. I should be able to climb tomorrow.
  • yes x 3 got some good climb in today and yesterday. For the past seven days I almost have a 1,000 foot per day average.
  • I wonder if Amish horses wear shoes, are shod? I think about the labor intensity of hooking up all of those horses as opposed to just turning a key in an ignition. Then I think about all of the other labor horses need. Man o man! A buddy of mine has some thoroughbred horses. He is older than me and he is still taking care…
  • ex post facto. Don't know what that means. I don't think I made it up. I got a couple of days of on track and in tolerance. Lost track of which. Got some good climb today. Strava gave me badges which is not the same as PR's but I still like 'em. I think the badges were for second fastest on that nasty hill I do repeats on.…
  • Too early for me to be saying that the kitchen is closed. But that won't keep me from talking about my exercise. I went out with a serious climb in mind this morning. Weird, I like it when someone says weird. I stopped 50 feet short of climbing for 2,000. I just didn't feel like going any more. Lateral distance to get that…
  • Too early for me to say anything about the success of my day. Not that it matters. I kind of struck out for winners circle. Wait a minute. It still matters. I strike out, that don't mean I throw everything to the wind. Rick got me to thinking about helmets. I don't know why. I ride my bike up that little hill to the…
  • yes x 3 It is not quite bedtime but I guess the kitchen is closed. Hard exercise day. Did two hill repeats on the monster hill. Got some PR's in the first iteration. I got to quit punching it for that. I forgot to wear my heart rate monitor. Got near the top of the second and couldn't control respiration or HR. Had to…
  • What's today? I am a little out of whack. May 8 Strike 3 for winners circle. I ain't never made winners circle. Bad tracking Bad budgeting out of bounds eating and drinking. But I got exercise riding up the little hill to school. Had lunch with Buddy. Why is that the high point of my life? For recess we went out and sat in…
  • May 7 yes x 3 Exercise not too exciting. Rode up the little hill to see Buddy. His coordination and balance for walking is diminished after his siezure. He is still willing to soldier on though. I love that about that little guy. Worked in the yard. I gotta prioritize that for a while. Get to bike riding too much and the…
