It’s Saturday morning, and there are
lots of items ahead for the next couple of days. Today is the 31st straight day
for writing and posting on this website; and today is the 31st straight day of
walking at least 30 minutes a day.
Subjects of this column have varied
and the response has been all over the board, more so than the issues
discussed. Some readers have taken exception to opinions and statements laid
before you. Others have agreed and urged more of the same. The column on Duck
Coach F..uh..K had a large readership and interesting responses. The bit about
the UNC Board of Governors dismissing Tom Ross was widely read and enjoyed by
many, especially the part about nominating Randy Woodson, the Chancellor at NC
State, to take Ross’s place. Of course, taking a jab at BobLeeSays had an
impact on readership and response.
Walking 30 minutes minimum a day has
been excellent for my mental and physical well-being. Most of these last 31
days have been on the treadmill in front of the television watching Morning Joe
but switching to Golf Channel and others every now and then. A couple of days,
the treadmill was skipped and replaced with an 8,000 yard, three+ hour walk
around the Lonnie Poole Golf Course, pushing a cart holding my clubs, good
exercise, even with the stopping every few hundred yards to swing a club.
One day included a walk around a
nearby lake, about three miles and 40 minutes. In total, for the month, the walk
has been for 28 hours and 75 miles in 31 days. Estimated calories expended:
10,000. Clothes fit better and after starting off the year at 211+ pounds, the
weight is now around 210. Lost 1.6 pounds in a month; just under 11.5 to go for
the year
In addition to many other items on
the year to-do-list, there is one thing that’s difficult for writers to do, but
it’s been completed or attained every day thus far. It’s not something to share
now. Maybe at the end of this 2015: Day to Day journey. Maybe you’ll figure it
out. See you next month.
