10 Tevet (last day of Gregorian 2006)

[magid]

It's a minor fast day, the shortest of the year (given that it's dawn to dusk in the winter). Breakfast will be soon, so I won't have to keep reminding myself not to eat something just because I'm hungry. Getting out of the house to get some errands done definitely helped. It also got my walking mileage for the year to a round number, so the bean-counter in me can be happy. The number? 1150 miles. Which is pretty good. Next year, I'd like to make it to 1200, though. And do a lot more biking/triking: this year I only managed 280 miles, which is not impressive. I'm not sure how many miles to set as a goal (there are tradeoffs if I want to get all the walking in), though as always there's the idea that it would be great if I did a century ride sometime this year. Not that I'm at all ready for that, obviously.
