Speaking of salads... one of my recent favorite lunch options is the Market salad from Chick Fil A. It is literally the closest lunch carry out to my home (about a mile away), and you can't eat nuggets and mac and cheese every time you go there, right? This is only strange for me to say because I generally stay away from salads 

 

I've never been to a Chick Fil A mainly because of the huge backup of cars that's always there, or at least at the one in my area.  I'd at least like to see what all the hype is about.

Deeze, many (most?) watches count steps based on your arm motions, such as swinging them when you walk or run. So if you're holding or pushing something it doesn't pick them up. I tried getting a step count while mowing the lawn and it didn't record anything. Using the snow shovel would be similar.

My only memory of Nashville food was the "Meat and three" diners.

BTY, I am anything but an "experienced swimmer". I'm just trying to have another form of exercise that works some different muscles. My goggles don't have an adjustable nose strap but I imagine I'll catch on to how to get them to work well enough.

My knee is still hurting. I rode 18 miles on the trainer with no complaint from my knee while riding but it seems to be a bit more sore this evening. It's unusual for any knee pain that I have had to last more than a couple days.

Tet, have you ever heard of Lake Kasumigaura?

That's where my 18-mile bike ride took me this morning. Those chevrons on the road as used to mark that bike lanes both on the roads and on the paved pathways. It would be an easy way to follow a route! Also, with all the smartphones around, we're all always on Candid Camera!

Good to "see" you, Holly.     Doug- Chik FilA is famous for their system of moving people through the line.  People said they should be in charge of the COVID shot lines that formed with the first vaccine.

Nashville has become a top "food" destination with many fine restaurants.  We don't generally go to those kind of restaurants now that I don't have business dinners etc, but it's quite the dining scene now.  The thing we are missing, at least anywhere near me, is really good Chinese and really good Italian.  Mexican we can get our fix, but Chinese is quite sub-par.

Hello everybody!

I got in 9 miles, including 6 miles at tempo pace... all on the treadmill.  My new tempo pace is 7:26, which will get me a 3:15 marathon.  I'm just tired of beating myself up trying to hit the 3 hour mark.  It's supposed to warm up tomorrow so I can get back outside.

Okay--gotta go.  See ya!

Enke - I'll go back and look for the passages and see how to get it posted in here.

45 min of core/ST after work, plus dragged my weighted sled around in the alley for the first time in a number of months.  Needless to say, I didn't drag it very far for very long.   Also used my Kettle Gryps for the first time.  I like 'em!  They're definitely going to make my strength routine more versatile.

I'm really ready for this week - this month! - to be over.  We've been integrating a lot of changes to our dept at work and it's been a ton of administrative work on my and my attorney's part and meetings and meetings and more meetings and training a new person.  My brain is done! Calgon! Take me away!! 

Maybe we can all go visit Surly in Hawaii . . . 

Interesting.  My add feed for another site has offerings of Chinese food.
