Days 30 - 35 (AD 1854) – 149.9 Miles on My Schwinn 170 in South Africa

Good Day.

Have you ever had that kind of morning where you really do not want to get out of bed? I typically do not. I loved the early morning.

But this morning, I really did not want to face today. I just wanted to roll over in my bed and turn the day off.

Hara Estroff Marano wrote in her article "Can't Get Our of Bed", Psychology Today, Jun. 9, 2016.

"It is not a coincidence that on the days that you limit your sleep, get active in your own behalf, have a structure for the day, and move through it, you feel better. It would help for you to refine that process and make it a daily protocol for yourself. Some people need more structure in their lives than others, and you may be one of them."

And then I got up.

I pedaled 25.1 miles this morning, Day 1,854, on my Schwinn Fitness Cycle.

Over the past 6 days, Days 30 through and including Day 35 I pedaled 149.9 miles. Overall I have cycled 859.7 miles in South Africa.

My grand total of miles to date is 40,642.0. I have 9,358.0 more to go to reach my 50,000 mile goal.

then I started the bleach pressure washing of our pool deck.

And my biorhythms warned me.

Days 26 - 29 (AD 1848) – 100.6 Miles on My Schwinn 170 in South Africa

Good Day,

I have decided to reduce the number of my Jim's Trek postings to once a week. This posting covers Days 26 through and including 29. I cycled my Schwinn Fitness cycle 100.6 miles. And I am still pedaling 1 hour per session.

Overall since December 2, 2012 I have pedaled 1,848 days. My total mileage is now at 40,492.1. My goal is 50,000 miles. All-things-being-equal I could be completed the remaining 9,507.9 miles in about 396 more days.

Jim's Trek VII begins in South Africa. My hope is to complete the circumference of the continent of Africa. On the 29th day I have completed 709.8 miles.

I am now located at Zweliyandia, South Africa.

Days 22 - 25 (AD 1844) – 99.6 Miles on My Schwinn 170 in South Africa

Good Day,

Today is the 1,844th day that I have been cycling on my Schwinn Fitness Cycle. That is 1,844 days and 1,844 1-hour sessions, the equivalent of 40,391.5 miles.

Not bad for an aged man at the ripe age of 67 years.

Over the last 4 sessions, 22 through 25, I pedaled 99.6 miles. And I am still traveling in South Africa.

Day 25

Is it polite to add your two-cents to a group conversation when you know absolutely nothing about the topic(s) being discussed?

Last night's supper was certainly a new and amazing taste fest. Cabbage Pie with Tomato Sauce.
