Took a walk around lake on the campus today. The illegal immigrant Canada geese are now arriving in droves honking like crazy as they make their water landings. This was a 44 minute walk burning 273 calories at an average HR of 103 bpm @ 67% of MHR and a peak HR of 110 bpm.

I can't wait for Summer to loosen it's grip here. It's been in the 90's and until today it's kept my heart rate higher than normal during training. I got up early and went scouting hiking spots I hadn't been to before. Found Cove Hollow Trail but DB was with me and I knew she couldn't handle that hike. October should be good for this.

It's only 85 here, and with 9% humidity so it feels cooler. As we have a large number of ex-Illinois residents here everyone has been commenting that we are cooler than Chicago

[Mark E. Hurling]

Yeah, NOW it is cooler. But just a few weeks ago you guys were still in shake and bake mode.

Upper body emphasis LISS today. Rounds of rower and SciFit (arms only), bag flurries, and medicine ball tosses. Session was 43 minutes burning 322 calories with an average HR of 115 bpm @ 75% of MHR and a peak of 127 bpm from the bag flurries.

Odd double post. Will resolve later.

Finally found a contact for the upcoming highland games. Registered for them. It turns out I'll be able to get in some practice Saturday and do a wee bit of hurling the implements on Sunday.

I see what you did there. I hope you have a fun and safe competition.
