This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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.
