I sustain six kilometres an hour on okay terrain, and seven on sidewalks, so it's more like nine or ten minutes a kilometre. I probably could hustle 800 metres in six minutes, but I meant six kilometres an hour not six minutes per kilometre. <br /><br />Quite possibly I did the math wrong at the time, so it's a good thing I wasn't late.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-90672760218635596202009-09-15T10:51:53.937+00:002009-09-15T10:51:53.937+00:00You calculate six minutes for a walk of one kilome...You calculate six minutes for a walk of one kilometer? Wow, I must say, that is a blow to my ego: six minutes per km is my usual pace when I go running.<br /><br />Sounds like a mountain hike with you would be quite the challenge ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-89501933002918799332009-09-09T01:33:27.839+00:002009-09-09T01:33:27.839+00:00Ever had Popeye's fried chicken?

I tend to think in the same terms. Food is fuel. I need x pounds/calories to fly/live for x amount of time..<br /><br />Finding a consistent source of nourishment in some of the small towns I stay in is a challenge too. I base my accommodations around a co-located restaurant these days. Getting lazy I guess. <br /><br />I’m lucky (?) in that I have the metabolism of a reptile. A day without food is no hardship. The key is knowing what you need to function properly. If KFC fuels the need so be it. I lived on it in Red Deer. No judgment lolUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985699561397840322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-74460804267420816712009-09-06T18:47:06.883+00:002009-09-06T18:47:06.883+00:00The Quest for Food ... funny in all senses what on...The Quest for Food ... funny in all senses what one will eat when simple hunger and the "5 month cycle" gives you a KFC bucket. I have to admit I have a shorter cycle for fried chicken in general, it's such an effective comfort food.<br /><br />I like your insect sting analgesic. I only hope "Firetruck!" is a blog euphemism, as the best effect is when rarely-used obscenities are used enthusiastically.

Apparently that's about 400 calories per piece, so that was most of my daily caloric needs right there.<br /><br />And I assumed that the worst of the insect bite was the bite itself, so it didn't concern me to go flying.

Along with all the other details of duty-time, aircraft inspection timing, etc..
