400,000 Step challenge

15,824 steps on Day 1, of the challenge. That was 13.4KM.

My goal is to complete 400,000 steps in 30-days or less. That is an average of 13,333 steps a day a very achievable goal.

I'm recording my daily goals on this blog as a way of tracking them. I'm not getting too excited about the challenge as I have fallen off the wagon soon after completing goals each of the past 4-years.

I'm not giving up hope of long term change. Plus my body can use a month of clean living.

I went back and checked and I have started this years challenge about 4-days ahead of last years. I put in big days last year, several over 20k.

Panama

I went to Panama last week for a work visit. For some reason I'm having trouble posting a couple of the photos. While in Panama we visited the bar owned by the former world champion, legendary boxer Roberto Duran. I took a photo with Duran who was an excellent host.
Panama City is a beautiful location but it was stifling hot and humid.

I also had photos of recent visits to the famous Game 5 of the Blue Jays v. Texas ALDS series and a Bills v. Bengals NFL game.

In an odd story I was struck by a can of beer at the Blue Jays game during the infamous 7th inning. The beer can glanced off my head, soaking it in beer, but struck the young lady sitting in front of me. She required medical attention and an ice bag. I got into a verbal altercation with a fan that I caught throwing a plastic cup of alcohol onto the field. He quickly realised the error of his ways while his loudmouth wife thought it was a good idea to verbally challenge me. I didn't think that was a good idea and I'm pretty sure she agreed after a short verbal joust.

I'm tired right now after my trip but will attempt to update the blog in the next few days.

Voting

Mark my word that voting in the Canadian election Monday will be a nightmare. I voted in the advance poll last Saturday. There was minimal line-up but it still took 45 minutes to vote. I had to line up in 3 different lines, show my ID, provide my signature, they hand wrote my address in pencil. I the had to line up again to vote. On Monday the line-ups will be insane. I'm betting they keep the polls open well after the 9:30PM cut off in Ontario.

I'm convinced this is all part of the Harper plan to discourage voting. To disenfranchise people in the margins.

I'm hoping for a big Liberal victory on Monday and a chance to undo the harm caused by Harper over the past 9-years.

Why in 2015 we are still using pencils, rulers, hand written addresses, typed voters lists is a disgrace. We are still using technology from 40 years ago.
