  • Had to get the walk in

    After doing some work around the house I decided to head out and get my steps/miles in for the day. I also listen to my podcasts during this time and try and figure out what’s wrong with the world. Sort of depressing but the walk helps. Came across some protesters outside the base entrance. Base security was not happy.

    Ended up on more sidewalk than trail today. But, that is OK I really did want to see the neighborhood more.

  • New Route Today

    I really wanted to see where the Power Line Trail ended up, so we did a new portion of trail and park. Started and stopped at the house.

  • February 1, 2024 workout

    February 1, 2024 workout

    Sometimes a long walk is all you need. Exploring the Aurora trails

    Unlike Florida things here have hills. The powerline trail is great.

    Saw the Prarie dogs

    And ended the route with the geese

  • Some Aurora, CO Trail Exploration today

    I am trying to explore the Aurora, CO trail network as a part of my fitness plan. I really need to loose about 20% of my weight, so the immediate goal is 10%, like 25 pounds. Not easy to do with my travel and all, but I think if I start watching my diet and continue my walking, I think I can safely do this.

    Anyways, today’s walk started and ended out the house.

    Total distance: 1.09 mi
    Max elevation: 5625 ft
    Min elevation: 5568 ft
    Total climbing: 120 ft
    Total descent: -128 ft
    Average speed: 2.80 mi/h
    Average cadence:
    Average heart rate:
    Average temperature:
    Total time: 00:28:21

    Not bad.

  • I’m Back!

    After some travel and some nasty weather, I am back.

    Total distance: 2.38 mi
    Max elevation: 5628 ft
    Min elevation: 5559 ft
    Total climbing: 253 ft

    Let’s see if I can keep the streak going!

  • Cherry Creek Dam

    Did a 4.58 mile walk/slow jog along the Cherry Creek Dam trail in Aurora, CO. I am trying to explore all of the town trails. Lake is frozen over with the ice expanding up over the rocks of the dam.

    I want to do the full around the lake trail, but that may have to wait until a Spring weekend.

  • Good Morning

    We are expecting snow and travel for me, so it may be a few days before I get back on the trails. I can’t take the chance of getting hurt. There are going to be some indoor workouts that I won’t post here because I can’t get good GPS tracks from indoor tracks and treadmills.
