I have always been infatuated with helicopters. In flight, a helicopter is an amazing mixture of aerodynamics, physics and... well, magic. This blog acts as a record of my experiences, learning, successes and failures along this adventure. VFR 141 Private Pilot: June 17th, 2008 VFR 61 Commercial Pilot: May 26th, 2009. CFI: February 3th, 2010. Fly Safe.

Run, Chris, Run!
So, in order to train in the Robinson R22 helicopter, I need to shed some pounds. Not so many, mind you, but about 15 in order to be well within the safety guidelines. I've decided to dust off the old Image 10.6Q treadmill and get my butt moving.
It's been 8 days so far... and the last 4 days in a row.
I'm not ready for a marathon or anything, but I'm up to 2.75 miles in the last two sessions.
Update 2007-10-02: Now at 3.25 miles. 11 days in a row. My secret? Watching an episode old episode of Millennium during each session. Basically, my running coach, Frank Black.
