365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Rewarding Myself
Day 183: I have rewarded myself in an entirely appropriate way for having reached my personal goal of 1500 miles in the Winter Fitness Challenge: I signed on for a year's membership in the Park's fitness centers. The Tahoma Woods facility shown here is somewhat smaller than the one at Longmire and has fewer "upper body" machines, so I will probably be doing sessions in both locations. Today, I divided my time between the elliptical and the exercise bike with breaks for a few repetitions on the weight trainers. I found the exercise bike to be immensely more comfortable and quiet than the one I own. I did half an hour of "hill climb" (pre-programmed resistance) in addition to a more personalized and somewhat more strenuous custom setting. The weights are where I really need to focus my attention now, but with one repaired shoulder, I'll be taking it easy until I've built up sufficient strength.
