Nice, leisurely mission. Could have gone on in radio mode but the missus is on the way home with non-tinned food.

#waterwednesday. It’s also my current before pic at today’s weight of 242 pounds.
A nice easy effort for the end of the weekend.
I think I’ve got the right balance of calisthenics, cycling, yoga and walkimg figured out. Now I just have to determine how long it takes for my yoga performance to stop being embarrassing.
Me: That was a good workout.
Cat (while kneading my abs with her paws): I dunno, man. If you were in shape, nothing would move when I do this.
I got a new personal best for the longest time on the bike and longest distance. (Yeah, I know. Hard to do one with the other.) I’m feeling too all around about this week. I expected to blow my diet this week since I was on vacation. Normally, I’d go through a bag of chips a day but I held myself to under 1,500 calories a day and didn’t miss a workout and actually lost weight.
I’m also a Lovecraft nerd.
I started this virtual mission the same time I started walking to Rivendale. Great site. Pick your beginning and end points and plug in the distance you travel each day while working out. Google maps and street view let you see where all that running would have gotten you.

So I’ve never denied being a nerd. Tonight, I am a proud nerd. I have finally done it. I have reached Rivendale. It took 108 days of walking, jogging and biking, but I’ve covered the 458 miles from Bag End to Rivendale.
And I’m about to start the long, 462 mile trek from RIvendale to Lothlorien. I’m expecting it to go much more quickly.
When I first began this journey, I was walking each night with Zombies, Run! I walked an hour a night in July for about three miles. In September, I was getting between 4-6 miles a night and walking between an hour and a hour and a half. In October, I started cycling at about six miles in 40 minutes. That’s now up to 10 miles in 45 minutes.
I’ve lost about 18 pounds along the way, but more importantly, I feel a lot better and have a lot more stamina and I feel a lot better about myself.
So I’m looking forward to the next part of the trip.
Loving the cooler weather and days off work. I can probably get in another mission tonight.
