Day 220 – Jim’s Trek – 22.5 Miles – 101 Left To Go

Good Day,

This morning I am on my Schwinn 150 on Highway US-2 W and and at the intersection of NF-6700. My 22.5 miles places me just east of Lichtenberg Mountain which peaks between Lichtenwasser and Valhalla Lakes. Lichtenberg Mountain tops at 5,844 feet. Cycling this morning, once again, at a resistance of 11 of 15 certainly provides my legs the distinct impression that I am sort-of moving in an upward grade.

My total miles on Day 220 on my Schwinn 150 now clocks in at 4,155.9 miles. Based on my calculations I have only 101 miles remaining to reach my final destination in Seattle. Damn, I just can’t believe that I have actually almost finished that which I set out to do. And you will not believe my last two destinations on this completion of my Trek.

All-things-being-equal, I should finish this first part of my journey this coming Wednesday.

I’m really thinking about what I need to do as an overall goal for my Jim’s Trek – Part II; the new Trek that I intend to start after I reach my final and ultimate Interlake destination in Seattle. I am mentally trying to formulate what exactly I do to take my exercise journey to the next level.

Not much to report on the supper front. I just had some leftover homemade turkey and chorizo soup/stew/chowder that I created a couple of days back.

And my Trek viewing this morning was part two of Chicken Tikka Masala. Now I think I want Indian food for supper tonight.

Gonna keep this posting short. Today I have to take my PC into the shop; the new motherboard and upgrades have arrived. I'll be using the Notebook and the iPad for the next couple of days.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 219 – Jim’s Trek – 22.0 Miles – On My Schwinn 150 in The Rockies

Good Day,

Today I cycled 22.0 miles on my Schwinn 150. Total miles completed this 219th day – 4,133.4. I’m averaging now 19 miles a day and I doing it in about 1 hour and 6 minutes.

This morning my journey has me located, from a satellite viewpoint, on US-2 W headed north somewhere in The Rockies. From my vantage point I appear to be a wee bit east of Hatchery Creek, and I am following a river toward NF-112. Hatchery Creek appears to run into the river that follows US-2. I passed through the City of Leavenworth, Washington, population 1,970.

My belly measurement remains at 34 inches, 10 inches down from when I started my Trek. I also just measured my real waist; it figures in at 33 inches. Not bad for trying. Success!

Thanks to all the well-wishers and readers of my Jim’s Trek blog. I am actually quite surprised that there are as many taking notice, more than I truly expected. Since I began my Trek and writing my blog on November 28, 2012 there has been, according to Blogger Stats 15,505 Pageviews.

The following map is a mapping of my Trek including, to date all 24 Interlake address points. I had to cut and paste Goggle Maps productions as it appears that the program can only provide for 21 destinations. Oh, and yeah, I still have two more destinations to go and add.

This morning’s viewing pleasure is part one of Chicken Tikka Masala… And I thought it was a movie about food. Wrong. It is about being trying to be true to oneself… at the same time trying to juggle and understand familial wishes.

And Chantal appears to have gone up in a puff-of-smoke. All I know is that she’s a little Papillion that lives down the street and yelps at The Pack every time we walk by her house. Well I got to find out where Dorian now lives and maybe I may get a picture of him, at some point.

Supper last night was at Yummy House on West Waters. Chinese food fare and I try to get something different each time we go. I haven’t had the nerves as yet to order the Bitter Melon Frog Pot or the Sizzling Frog with Ginger Scallion.

Noticed that there is a new Jamaican restaurant at the end of the same strip mall, Ginja Bay Café. Got to stop in there one Saturday morning to try the Ackee and Salt Fish.

Only some few more miles to go. Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim
