Biathlon Beckons

The first test of the emergency exercise system (golf and Younger Next Year) went off without a hitch this week. Thank goodness for indoor bicycles. When the sun goes down, I just keep right on going.

Sunday we spring ahead to Daylight Savings Time, when we will get another hour of sunlight in the evening after work. That will make a huge difference. Living close to the eastern edge of the Pacific Time Zone, we face early sunrises and sunsets all year long. I've advocated everything east of the Blue Mountains in Oregon going to Mountain Time, to no avail. So we're stuck with our early sunsets, and less time in the evening after work to get in the golf and biking.

I have a golf membership for four days a week, Monday through Thursday. I will try to play nine holes of golf as often as possible — and do my hour of exercise on these days. It's a biathlon challenge that I look forward to, something that should crank up the metabolism big time as well as supply plenty of Vitamin D. Let the games begin.
