New shoes


2.38 miles.
10, 249 steps.

The dwarves have escaped from the wood elves. Placed in oaken wine barrels by Bilbo they floated down the river to Lake-town.

Ian McKellen in King Lear.

Bought new tennis shoes today. Did not notice the symbolism of the color until I took the pic. Go black and gold.

January 2010 Summary

Here we go, the first month’s stats:

January 6 (first weigh-in) – 290
February 1 – 275

Total Miles – 51.32
Average Miles – 1.66

Total Steps – 282,822
Average Steps – 9,161

Today (February 1) I got to the gym for 2.36 miles and have a total of 10,588 steps.

There you have it. The baseline.

At the gym, I listened to The Hobbit. Gandalf has taken his leave and Bilbo and the dwarves stand on the edge of Mirkwood.

Watched Public Enemies tonight. Somehow it did not click. Might have been doing too much work.
Now viewing “A Performance of Macbeth.” It has Ian McKellen and Judi Dench as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Hard to beat that combination.
