I had been telling anyone who would listen that the cost of cruising is about a pound of weight gain per day. I can now say that it's actually much less than that. After 35 days of cruising the South Seas, I gained about eight pounds. That's about a quarter-pound a day. Not as bad as expected. But still bad.
Despite all that poundage, I thought I'd be able to keep up with my friends during my first run in cold weather in a long, long time. I thought wrong. They ran the pace they usually do - about ten minutes per mile - but fat, old Dan was huffing and puffing, and eventually falling behind.
Blame it on the cold weather, not on being fat and out of shape. Yeah, that's the reason.
