Somewhere past Namche Bazaar

Start WalkingNote: My Start Walking posts can easily be found by clicking on the label Start Walking 2008.

I haven't kept up my posts the last couple days, but that's fine; I'll just omnibus 'em in here. I arrived "virtually" in Namche Bazaar on Tuesday, thanks to a pretty hefty day especially of rowing & my Tuesday Turbulence Training workout, along with a bit of dancing & walking. Wednesday was a very intense 30-minute row in the morning, my best distance for that time at 5934 meters, & I my heart was beating hard enough at the end of that session that I thought it wise to do another five minutes at a more moderate pace as a cooldown — another 905 meters. Besides the normal "laps" around the second floor of the library (where our office is now located) after trips to the bathroom, I also did a lunchtime walk across campus, inside using skywalks in deference to the big dump of snow we'd had during the morning. Today, Thursday, I did a morning row (3390 meters), enough "laps" of the library plus other walking to get me just over 5000 steps, & an evening Turbulence Training workout.

Progress in the last three days: Tuesday, 19,231 steps or equivalent. Wednesday, 18,784 or equivalent. Thursday, 21,356 or equivalent.
