Booted from Brandon to Calgary

Apart from some oil pumps plugging away in Saskatchewan and Alberta, there was not much to see in the 1200 kilometres between those two cities. However, the 110 km/hr speed limit was appreciated as I dialed in 123 kms and cruised all the way, stopping only for coffee and gas as required.

I spend the night in a Quality Inn and was up early and hit the treadmill in the gym. Ouch, had not run for a month and it hurt. As soon as I get to B.C. I have to get into my routine again. I was afraid to get on the scales and rightly so, as I had crept back over 190 pounds. At least my breakfast was free - no cost, included in my lodging, and I burned 425 calories, so no cost to my weight :-)

Today I plan to visit Banf, Lake Louise, the Columbia Ice Fields, and Jaspar. Not sure where I will spend the night, but Kamloops is calling my name, and I love the desert.

TTYL,

Jim
