Ran the riverwalk and neighborhood. The first 25 minutes was a faster pace. Then my buddy ran home and I did the 4x 800 again. I was at 3:10-3:17s.
It was a while since I could take my shirt and wring it out and have lovely sweat come out of it. As wrestlers, we use to get in the sauna and you had to have 100 drops of sweat come off your nose before your could take a break. After one of the intervals, It only took me 90 seconds to have 60 drops of sweat fall from my face. Now I don't make it habit of counting sweat, but the humity was fun to run in. Good thing it was in the morning.
I am entering this at the airport, so I am home for another two weeks, then off of Oregon and the Spudman.
Just some observations on my trip to the South. The people were very friendly. I did not see racial tensions at San Antonio.
The food in Texas is good--too good. There are so many over weight people in the South. Food--unhealthy food--is so much a part of the culture. They do not get it. Beef is a staple. Bacon is a food group. I ordered pancakes one breakfast and the guy gave me bacon instead. There is lots of unhealty foods being advertised. No wonder when you look at obesity stats, the South is significantly worse off than the rest of the nation. Then if you add smoking and drinking too that, the health is awful--and that is the tip of the iceberg--it will get worse and ruin the healthy care (affordable insurance) as we know it. |
