day three

where to start. I have all kinds of profound thoughts and now. pfft. eating fritos and beer for dinner. watched grandchildren for a bit this afternoon so had a half a nutella sandwich and lefotver ramen. nutritious. however, I ran with 7 pounds in my pack this morning. my theory is if I add the weight I want to lose it will somehow transfer it away from what I carry in my pack. then I had a totally busy day touring a fire/burn area for the press, which was me and a guy from the TV station and the forest service fellows. had oatmeal for breakfast on the run, no vitamins and a smoothie and energy bars for lunch and then you heard the rest. I was also thinking I should have a goal so I'll get around to that shortly. like what? lose 10 pounds? oh for sure. also, i want to hike 8 miles to a hot spring near Aspen. have to pack in to stay overnight or a week or whatever. well, I'll have to carry more than 7 pounds for more than 1 mile. but it's a start and a cool goal. over and out for today.
