We survived!! Yes folks, we survived the 32 k hike on Friday. I only have about three blisters on each foot but whose counting. We were actually setting a good pace and were able to complete the hike in about 6 1/2 hours...not bad considering the few rest stops that had to be taken along the way. This time we made sure we had enough water and I think that made a huge difference on our energy level, I know it certainly did for me. Thanks to Tom Lewis for bringing out a re-supply of the H2O when we were about half way through the walk.



I know this isn't the topic that is usually brought up in highly regarded blogs or conversations...but since my blog isn't highly regarded I can get away with it! I think I set a world record on that hike...I had flatulence for the whole 32 k's!! Thank God we were walking by horse and chicken farms along the way! I'm serious! Maybe that's the reason for the good pace...did you know that flatulence can come out at a speed of 7 km an hour?! I guess I had the turbo thrusters on! Now you know why you read this blog, just to find out important information like that.



I forgot to mention in my last blog when I said about taking that first step...make sure you check with your doctor first! Also, link up with a good personal trainer to get you started on the right path! Fortunately I have a great doctor (Emery) and a great trainer (Sarge) who have kept this rust bucket moving.

Had another workout with the Sarge this morning...she was not in a good mood. The sun wasn't shining and the birds weren't singing in the Sarge's world this morning! She was doing some push ups and I was only trying to encourage her. I simply said..."you can do more than that"...oh boy! She got up and pointed her scrawny, but muscular, finger at me and started yapping. I can't even repeat what she said...she was even referring to me as "sir". The more she got mad the more I laughed...who has more fun than me I ask? I started to look over my shoulder because I thought I would see a weight being hurled at me! She finally relaxed after consuming some carbs...can't wait for this body building show to be over! She only has 26 more days to go, but whose counting.

Big Dave out!
