Comments on: Geocache Diet – Day 32 http://www.familynavigation.com/geocache-diet-day-32/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed chasing family dreams Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:34:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Martin Pedersen http://www.familynavigation.com/geocache-diet-day-32/comment-page-1/#comment-515 Martin Pedersen Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:52:02 +0000 http://www.familynavigation.com/?p=2240#comment-515 Thank you for the comment. It is never too late to make a change. In North America, especially in the west, our cities are so spread out that people have become dependent on driving everywhere. There are a strong minority who walk and cycle instead of driving but the majority drive everywhere. It has taken me a while to find shoes that are comfortable and they sure make a difference, especially being so heavy. I enjoy doing geocaches of all different types; variety is good. The 1000 geocache number I am doing on the challenge is arbitrary which is why I included the 2500km goal as well. I know people who have done close to 100 caches in a day and to do drove to each location. I am doing the same caches but I am walking to each location instead. I figure if I meet my distance target and make changes to my diet than I will lost the weight, and why not find a few caches along the way. Thank you for the comment.

I love that you are doing some multis as well and not just counting up how many tradis you can collect. I am with you on the outdoors vs. a gym. I cycle to work most days and it takes me almost an hour each way. I think I'd go nuts if I had to cycle indoors in a gym for more than 5 mins, let alone two hours. Yet even in the freezing cold, I look forward to it every day and am really missing it since I can't do it in the snow. I probably don't need to tell you this, but spend as much as you can on shoes. I used to do a lot of walking until one day I bought some new shoes which triggered an inflammation of my plantar tendon under my foot. They were actually not bad shoes, but I let a salesman tell me that running shoes are fine for walking. They aren't because you roll off your heel differently in both activities. Since then it keeps flaring up so my walking is somewhat limited. I cycle a lot now, which is just as good. Hey so now I wrote a book in response to yours!
