No cycling - it's a blizzard here all weekend, and still tommorow.
Got to the pool though for some swimming.

Total distance: 5936.3 + 2 = 5938.3km
Next destination: 62.7 + 2 = 64.7 of 526.9km to Bend

I was in Seattle - just after Christmas :-)

I like this thread; I don't know why I've been avoiding it for so long.

I'm about to head downtown, which is a 3km round trip. I won't add to the total until I get back.

My walks have been getting easier. I may start running again in the mornings, in which case I'll have some good numbers to put in here.

Yeah everyone! Spring is here!!!

Martian 04-22-2008 10:17 AM

Mapquest tells me my walk was actually 3.2 km.


Total distance: 5938.3 + 3.2 = 5974.5km
Next destination: 64.7 + 3.2 = 100.9 of 526.9km to Bend

I might go for another walk later, when it cools off a bit.

Here's the short version, crank handle fell off about 17km into the ride, luckily this point is only three km from home, so I walk home, and re-attach. Start off again. It's getting dark, I glance down at the speedo to see how far I've gone, and look up in time to barely avoid hitting a porkupine crossing the road. Then 30 feet from my garage, I hit pea-gravel turning in and crash hard. Broke my flashing light off the back, and am suffering road rash and a bruised shoulder as a result. All this in a stiff wind. :-)

I don't know much about Bend, Oregon. It appears to be a beautiful city in the middle of Oregon, and is just gorgeous. Here are some of the beautiful photos I have found.
