Why most people prefer the beach.

Out of shape. Like me.

One must prepare for some things in life … Seems that you did not prepare ;-)

I’d need an oxygen tank….lol

Okay.

She’s in shape and he’s a sofa slug.

She looks fine.

So much for thinking that walking machine at the Y was really doing anything for you.

I used to take photographs of my wife after the fifth miserable hour in the snow for display the next time she suggested such an expedition. :)

I’ve been faced with those circumstances a lot lately. Getting old sucks.

climbing mt fuji is basically like queuing for a movie uphill – the line moves so slowly that you have a hard time working up a sweat and the biggest danger is tripping over the trash that folks here leave everywhere they go. so when a buddy asked me to join him on a jaunt up mt taisetsu, our highest local peak, i didn’t give it much thought. i showed up dressed incorrectly and overburdened with a heavy pack and by the end of the nearly 8-hour trek was ready to drop from exhaustion. one of the best experiences of my life – a hike through breathtaking scenery that you can’t see anywhere else…
