Another FART

Frist HAPPY LATE THANKSGIVING to all you losers!!! Hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable time with everyone.  Today I had my first excersie FART. As many of you know I am living and working right now in Antarctica so thats a FART within itself but today me and one of my roommates (yea I got 3 roomies total. Talk about college style) decided we are going to go for a hike. We hiked was is called the CASTLE ROCK LOOP which in total distance covers 9.2 miles. Keep in mind I am hiking with a 20 pds survival bag and we are walking on snow and ice and rock all mixed together.  The best part is that I not only completed it but I did it in 5 hrs and 10 mins!!!...That might seem slow but this trail elevation goes up probably 1000 feet in the first 1/2 mile and than keep climbing to about 2000 over the course of the first 3 miles and than drops you down to sea level and then brings up back up to about 800 feet to finish (the last 1.5 miles was almost all up hill) I feel great. Although my back hurts from the pack and my legs are sore and I am tired as hell I feel awesome. If I did this once a week do you think this would cover my workout? Keep in mind that I also do cargo for a job here so I load and unload and move cargo all over.  Just wanted to share my holiday far with everyone...Hope you all enjoy it!!!

I'd love to see some pictures. I bet you have awesome scenery.

Congrats on the milestone and the time! I think it's actually better to spread your cardio out over a week.  A single 5 hour cardio session a week isnt' as good as five 1 hour sessions.

Congratulations on your Amazing Journey! Could you have imagined any of this possible a year ago? Keep the Updates Coming! And Keep up your awesome progress! Best Wishes- Dx

If you guys want to see my pics, most of them are on my myspace page. Check it out at www.myspace.com/stephen12 I have yet to figure out how to get them on here...haha
