I ran the treadmill for an hour, then went for a 3 hour hike on
a 2400 foot mountain today. I have officially been obsessive/compulsive for the past 2 weeks.

2. I wish I could get into that.
I really need to lose the rest of the weight.

4. Are you trying to get a year's worth of exercise in one day?
I'm sure you'll sleep very well tonight--you've earned a good night's sleep!

5. No, I've been into this for about a month.
The more I run, the more energy I have to run some more.

6. Good for you!!
I did 20k on the road bike yesterday and another 20 today. Only took an hour each time. Came home, took my bp and it was 117/82 after resting for 15 minutes.

I'm biking to work tomorrow - only 3k each way and the Pilates class tomorrow night (I'm the only guy in the class - and the oldest person there - I swear I'm not a creepy old guy).

7. Another one! Good job there, dude.
I'm actually working out like a maniac to keep my head on straight.

9. When is the trip?
I'm trying to drop 10 before my birthday in November. Doubt I'll lose that much, but I may buff up a little.

10. We leave on 19 Oct
for a week, then again on Christmas Day for two weeks.

Then we go back at Easter for our anniversary.

We win the lottery, we buy a flat in Paris.

Hell, even if we don't we buy a flat in Paris.
