national walk at lunch day

Today is National Walk at Lunch Day, and the Wellness Fare at Lafayette. Being the celebratory people we are, we combined the two events into one.

My office is off-campus so we headed to the Wellness Fair first. High point? Free food. We had a wild rice and apple salad, and a grain that looked like barley. I think it started with an F. There was also spinach wraps with white and black beans. All the food was very good.

Food services was promoting Meatless Mondays. I'd like to do this, but I'd like meatless two or three times a week. Think the roomie will be resistant.

There were heel checks, blood pressure and sugar checks, and skin scan. We didn't participate in anything. My blood pressure was high this morning. I wasn't going there. And I sure wasn't going to the face skin scan. Ignorance is bliss and I'm lousy about sunscreen. But mostly all health decisions are made by money and I have none to spend on fancy skin treatments or any type of cancer.

We left the event, and walked all over campus, did a couple set of stairs cut into the hillside and came back to work.

Saturday is the 50K. It's supposed to rain. It didn't rain/snow for most of the winter and spring so far. The one weekend I have outdoor plans it rains. Crap.

I think I'll need to eat like a bear storing up for the winter. I hear my walking buddy eats very little. He does the model diet—cigs and coffee. terrific for him. I need food. I also hear he gets quiet for long periods of time. Ut oh. It might be a very long hike.
