We call this route the Bird Run for obvious reasons. It’s kind of tradition for the F3 guys to run it on Turkey Day.
Today’s Bird Run was only my 5th actual run of 2025 and I knocked out 5 miles, so pretty happy with that.
Ibuprofen is an appropriate side dish for Thanksgiving, right?

I spent Tuesday putting up Christmas decorations inside and outside. At the end of the day, my watch said I had walked 10.1 miles and climbed 14 floors of steps. My right knee is in agreement with that.

So my son bought me a fancy Garmin watch for a Christmas present.
Its been interesting looking at some of the stats.
I have averaged burning 3000 calories a day for the past week.
Today I peaked at 13678 steps today. Almost 7.2 miles. Didn't consider it to abnormal for the days activity compared to most. Actually average and spent a few hours crammed in the pump house of a fire engine fighting 3 inch plumbing with a 48 in pipe wrench with a 6 foot cheater on it.
Five days in the last week have been over 7 kilometer days.
Kinda got me wondering how accurate the data could be? I really have enjoyed peaking at it. The best part is comparing the numbers with my spouse. She seems sorta dumb founded. Its my latest "well you know why I come home tired and eat everything in site".
I have also started a new vitamin regimen. Feel over all a little better and the best news is my knees and leg aren't aching as terribly.
Still eating four to five times a day. Breakfast sandwich home made biscuit, egg, bacon. Mid morning snack protein bar or mix of carrots and cucumber.
Lunch is usually a meal prep of rice and a meat or pasta and a meat. Often left overs from a home cooked meal.
Afternoon noon snack is crackers and cheese, or a mix of grapes and blueberries (little piece of candy or chocolate).
Last meal is Supper. 6 out of 7 days is a home cooked meal.
Bad about eating Nutella straight from the jar with ginger bread cookies round 8:30 while spending time with the wife watching what ever our current binge is on Netflix.

I found the steptracker on my Fitbit watch to overstate compared to my phone by about 10-15%. I assume part of that is my watch always being on whereas my phone is only on me 95% of the time, and the other 5-10% being misinterpreting wrist motion as steps.

I'm still using the elliptical and stationary bicycle in the gym at my work regularly and my cardiovascular shape feels very good. I was off work for two weeks over the holidays, and we took a couple of nice bicycle rides on good weather days. One on the Neuse River Trail, and one on the New River Trail. We also hiked a couple of local trails. I'm still trying to ease back into lifting weights after my neck injury in Sept of 2024. I can't do much or a end up in pain the following days. It is very depressing.

I know. I certainly thought of that as I was typing it and am really disappointed in this crew right now.

I’ll formally apologize for that. I had some quality grade C jokes lined up but was slammed at work today

I stayed out! Didn't want any assumptions about my data
.
Got 9557 steps and 9.3 k today. Something doesn't add up. I worked mostly around the same apparatus today. Pulling a bunch of it apart. 3000 gallon tanker with three dump chutes and a crap ton of tear down to remove.
Would sustained use of a 1/2 inch impact for a solid 5 minutes barely getting a lunet ring to move have an effect?
How about finally succeeding only to budge the other with a four foot pipe wrench and me standing on it bouncing (220lbs)...giving up and getting the one inch tire gun out and hammering for another 5 to remove the second unit.
