The Chances

How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Monday, July 16, 2007

This weekend was the Tahoe Rim Trail #3 hike, 22.5 miles, Kingsbury Grade South to Big Meadow. I was going to take lots of pictures, but left the battery charging in my car. Because of that, I refused to lug the camera and saved about 10 pounds of weight. It took about 12 hours, and the GPS worked it out to 8.5 hours of steady hiking. My Palm software estimated about 4000 calories burned, and I think I consumed about 3000 along the way. While I didn't take any pictures, here's one that a guy named Felipe took.


The views were awesome. We could see the entire Carson Valley from the top. Pictures don't do it justice, but here's one that Sheelagh took.


It was a neat day.
