Get Fit on Rt 66

This year as part of a discount incentive offered by my company to remain healthy and get a big fat discount on my health insurance we could sign up and participate in a program called Get Fit on Rt 66. The route started in Chicago and ended in Santa Monica, CA. The Internet tracking tool works like this: for every minute you exercise and log on the web site - you move 1 mile toward the finish in Santa Monica. The program started on June 2 - thru Sept 30. Since I run 4 miles a day and hike, gym etc on the weekend this was an easier discount for me to earn. It was a ton of fun and I finished on July 29th. The cool part of the program was logging my miles. An animated old 57 ford truck moved me from city to city and wherever I landed - the web site gave me a few paragraphs about the town or city I landed in.

Last weekend I happened to be riding my Harley near my house and accidently ended up on part of Rt 66. Thought you would like to see a picture :-) agghhhhh life is fun on the bike!

picture from recent 5 k

Just wanted to post a few pictures from a race I ran recently. Held in Morristown NJ it is called the "Corporate Challenge" and encourages companies in the area to challenge employees to get healthy. I ran with a team of 18 others from Mars and we placed 5th of 155 teams.

I did very well for an old lady and finished with a time of 26.29. I know that I have been in better shape and am capable of running under 24 minutes - but I have been a slacker :-( . Here is a picture of part of my team and I. Briana (kneeling on front row left) was going to run with us but got salmonella poisoning 5 days before the event. She volunteered at the event. A good time was had by all.

Just a few pictures I have taken with my crappy camera while riding in the pacific northwest mountains the past couple of months. We still have a few upper areas that are un rideable due to snow still on the trails!
