Travel Update

First, I'm so excited for Maggie to come home in 5 days.

SE ASIA still on the table for me.

Maggie and I continue to give thought to a big Road Trip.  She sent me the link to a blog by Randy Olson who computed the optimal route for a road trip around the USA.  He's also done them for Europe and South America.  Wonder why he hasn't done Canada? ha ha

I really need to crunch the numbers for road tripping.  I looked a little into the cost per day of living in Asia and am thinking I could live there quite nicely on my pension.  Travel costs are pretty fuzzy right now.






  

Fitness Training Update

Spring Training began March 9.  Aim was:

• Pilates 3x/week
• Swimming 6x/week - minimum 20 mins; goal to swim 1500m
• hike or walk 5k 3x/week
• meditate 2x/day

I'm having new respect for verbalizing intentions ... I told people at work and others about Spring Training Camp with the hope that it would increase the likelihood that I would achieve these aims.

I might also be on the verge of new respect for "goal setting".

So far I'm mostly on track.  I'm behind 2, maybe 3, meditation sessions (although I set out to meditate 2x/day, I'm now aiming for 1x/day for now) and 1x swim session.

I've completed 6 hikes on the North Shore, including Lynn Peak and this morning swam 1200 m.

Feeling pretty good.
