Wow looks like you're chugging right along there buddy! I remember back in your Newcomer post you said your computer broke or something to that effect. Hope that doesnt happen again so you can remain in the RPG and kick some ass :D

Kind of unrelated but your avatar pic reminds me of Daniel Negreanu. LOL I watch too much poker on TV.

Nah, if it happens again i am going to be so pissed because its new lol. yeah the RPG is a great idea man. im enjoying it. dunno if im going to bet all the walking in though... SNOW lots of snow. i live in the country so im not close to a gym or rec center.

im thinking about doing a hike on Saturday though that should help a bit.
 
Hi Tob!
I think it's great that you're back and ready to start again! It's even nicer that this is something you can share with your wife :)

I would love to know more about this walking club! And I'm going to have to check out this RPG- looks very cool :)

Thanks for all the warm, welcoming comments!
 
Hey Tob,

I'm pretty new around here, so I don't know you from before but I'm glad to hear you're back!

It looks like you're not always able to do your walks as planned... Do you have an alternate form of exercise you could do at home if the weather is bad?

That's good, you've got something in place for the crappy weather days!

Normally I'd go to the gym, or do a workout at home (we have a BOSU, an exercise ball, exercise bands, etc). Lately the project has been to try some of the workout DVD's that are kicking around out there(P90x, pilates, yoga), and also the wii fit plus (it sat there in the package for a year, so we figured we should open it!). So far so good... nice to mix it up & take a break from the gym.

I think this might have been asked already, but have you tried snowshoeing before?

P.
