Yawn. Having a low-powered morning with no ambition. Did a quick work-out on the recumbent before work but that didn't help. It probably all started when someone brought in the warm apple and cinnamon cider. Is there a yummier and sleepier drink in the world?
Trina has been gone for two weeks as of today. We haven't heard from her except for a short note on the official Navy letter, but no news is good news. If she was having serious problems, we'd know. And the upside to all this is several people that she doesn't know said they were sending her letters.
Closing the book on October rides. I did 16 rides for a total of 120 miles on the dot, and burned nearly 6500 calories. By comparison, I did 27 rides in September and did 137 miles/6942 calories, so my October rides were longer and harder. When adding the C Hill climb, October was an excellent exercise month compared to years past.
I'm going to Wal-Mart at lunch to get a decent weight scale because the difference between the gym scale and the old home scale is about 3-5 pounds. I like the home scale but am tired of guessing which is right.
And I'm seriously thinking about trading in the teaching gig after this semester for delivering pizzas for Dominos. Wonder if they'd let me use my bike? :)
Distance: 4.67 miles
Time: 20 minutes
302 calories burned
Edit: Remember Sgt Fay, the combat artist in residence? He wrote me this morning:
Hey Bob, Thanks for checking out my blog and for your encouraging comments. I should be heading back out to the field in a week or two. I’ve just been working on finished drawings here a Fallujah. Trying to draw Marines with the new Kevlar helmet on is quite the challenge. It’s one of the wackiest shapes and changes significantly with just the slightest change of light or angle. Again, thanks, Mike

Semper Fi, Mike.
