Great story. I hope a book was written about his life. If there wasn't, there should be.

Thing is though, Americans didn't start getting fat on a wholesale level until the '90s.

I just reread this.

15 miles a day, day after day?  Highly unlikely. 

 

>but it just made me want to eat more.

 

That's the problem with any sort of high calorie-per hour exercise.  You exercise for a relatively brief amount of time, leaving the whole rest of the day to eat.  A good 5+ hour hike or bicycle ride leaves less time to actually eat.  Best of all is a backpacking situation, where you physically cannot access more food, which is why hiking the Appalachian trail or something similar causes more weight loss than virtually anything else. 

 

I wish buses, subways and streetcars had more handles or better placed handles to grab onto. A lot of them don't anticipate over-crowding. It's kinda awkward when you fall into someone as the bus brakes or accelerates all of a sudden.

 

You got to get your bus legs :lol:

I hate cardio. I didn't do it every day and I didn't start out doing 15. This was after I quit smoking. I was restless and looking for any way to keep my adrenaline up.
