Here I am again. I have been suffering from a severe bit o’ “Why bother getting out of bed?” It is not so much depression but a basic lack of progress in … well just about anything … lately. It is hard to motivate when no matter what level of energy we put in nothing […]
It has been a long time since a proper update, considering changes along the way, life, summer, and other minor interferences. I am considering all progress Mark made until his body decided to pull a Benedict Arnold on him as still valid for pledges … as long as those who made the pledges are still […]
Been quiet in these parts lately! Seemed long past time to get some good healthy babble on again. I went on a trip to North Carolina last week. A change of scenery, time to regroup, and a chance to commune with my Hiking Guru. I am still determined to complete this crazy project, and since […]
I am not a goal driven person. I MIGHT be a destination driven person, but even when I have a specific destination I am aiming for, to me the journey to it is really what is important. So when Mark asked me to join him in this epic journey … there was absolutely no chance […]
[ujicountdown id=”IDIOTS AWAY!” expire=”2014/03/20 07:00″ hide = “true”] I look at that countdown and think both … “WOW it is getting close! ” and “Are we there yet?” Right now the “Are we there yet?” is definitely taking a strong lead. The last few weeks have been … well I guess the best way I […]
I was gabbing with Mark the other day and we mentioned getting more people following us and throwing their hard-earned cash at charities in our name. Mark suggested that more nudity was needed on the blog to get our numbers up. It made sense to me, so I decided to offer this picture to help […]
Some stats as of July 1, 2013 Since my last official weigh in on June 4, despite my recent coma (or maybe because of), I still managed to drop another 2 lbs, and somewhere in there actually walked a few miles. Mark is still lounging on his vaca, so no recent updates on what he might […]
OK here is the deal. I went into a social coma for a couple of weeks, pretty much laying in bed wondering where, when, why, how, who, how much it will cost, and if it will taste good. Unfortunately this not only meant I was not exercising or preparing for our future world take over … I was pretty […]
Last week was a tough one for me. Even though I have not done much specific walking training yet, I am on a 6 day a week hardcore workout schedule. I am currently a member of Team Beachbody, to help whip me into shape. I figured it was the perfect program for me, since I already had a […]
Just a quick note for those still considering making a small pledge to the charity of your choice, related to the number of training or hiking miles Steve and I complete, or the number of combined pounds we lose while in training for our hike. As you all know, there have been recent terrible tragedies […]
