jayfurrI has STUPID FITNESS PLAN! Details below! ZOMG!
I am scheduled to fly home tomorrow night from Los Angeles and arrive home around noon on Friday. Assuming nothing untoward comes up, Carole and I will then drive down to Boston for two events: ROFLCon II and the Boston Susan G. Komen 3-Day For The Cure Preview Expo. When the weekend is over, I'll actually be working out of the office for three straight weeks before beginning a few back-to-back-to-back weeks of travel.
So here's my lame-o fitness plan for the month of May and June:
When I'm at home, every non-teaching day that it's not predicted to snow, rain, or be excessively windy I will bicycle to and from work: 18 miles one-way, 36 miles round-trip.
On days I'm teaching or that the weather forecast doesn't look good, I will have Carole drop me at the office and then I will walk home from work: 18 miles.
On May 9 I'll be doing a 30-mile bike ride for the Lund Family Center.
On Friday, June 11 I'll be doing the Chittenden County, Vermont Relay For Life -- and I won't stop walking all night long to take any rest breaks. We'll see how far I can walk in 12 hours strolling around a track with a bunch of other people. I don't expect to be rocketing along at a 4 mile an hour clip, but you never know. This will be my first RFL and I get the impression that it turns into a slow plod in the middle of the night.
I hope to also lead some 3-Day training walks for local 3-Day walkers -- too bad we don't have more of 'em in Vermont but we are sort of the rural back end of the universe and we usually do well to get even a handful of people to join us.
Finally, on either Saturday, June 19, or Sunday, June 20, I will walk 60 miles in one day. I'll have Carole drop me off at midnight at the USA/Canada border (for her sake, I may start the walk at 10 pm so she's not driving all the way back home after midnight) and walk home, Alburgh to North Hero, North Hero to South Hero, South Hero to Grand Isle, Grand Isle to Milton, Milton to Colchester, Colchester to Essex, Essex to Jericho, and Jericho to Richmond. Sixty miles. 24 hours. Should be fun.
