Day 8/70: Second day of the challenge

Okay, I am heading to bed standing (barely) at tenth place in the standings for this weekend’s fitocracy heroes challenge. I can’t do any more. If I’m at 11 or lower tomorrow, at least I know I did what I could.

I grew up in New England, moved to the Carolinas in '98 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing intranet content management and intranet site management. After work, I practice Aikido, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I've been studying Aikido since 2014, and I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday.
