Good bye...

Man, I wish I lived near you, Hector, so I could soak in some of your positive vibe energy---and have someone to hike with! Plus---California, right?

The foot long Subway Hero has 1100 calories...I opted for the cold cut combo instead...720 calories.

[Hector]

It takes a while to get to that point. Three months, three to four times a week...in the beginning, walking for an hour or so...then you slowly increase the distance. 1.5 hours...then 2 hours...and before you know it...6-8 miles, 3-4 hours come rather easily...it's just a matter of getting into the groove over a period of time...your stamina and muscle just keeps increasing.

I can't imagine attempting that--good for you!

[Hector]

Enjoy, Hector and be careful!

Happy to report...no chupacabra sightings...

[Hector]

Thanks man, I just bought a new pair of Timberlands, it's totally happening.

Hell yeah!

[Hector]

Just got home.

Yup, did the 8 mile trail walk...took me 3:45 hours. Stopped halfway for a 10 minute pitstop...had some jerky.

1pm-4:45 pm.

Then after the hike...went to Subway...and ordered me a foot long cold combo cut sub. Man, I'm usually pretty snobbish when it comes to sandwiches...I like to frequent Italian delis...but wanted something fast, low calories, and cheap...and man...did it hit the spot, yum, lol...

A bit tired, nothing really sore except my left foot arch, as I have flat feet...I do wear these special insoles...perhaps time for new and improved ones...love my shoes though, Brooks Beasts, I have a dozen pairs, they rule...highly recommended if you have flat feet.

Now I'm going to watch Passengers...rented it through Redbox.

Thanks for reading...

I want you to get well...so you and I can go to Yosemite one day, Brian. I know you Canadians have tons of forests, but California is warmer...

See you soo, buddy...

Pre-walk meal...one banana, one tablespoon of peanut butter, potassium and protein...and taking plenty of water, as I have a hydrating backpack. Will also a sandwich bag of beef jerky.

See ya later...
