Caught a break in the weather today it was only 90 at 9am when I went out running. But the humidity was 37 percent as I jogged under cloudy skies to Sunset Park. While I was running around the lake a lady walking her dog told me I looked like the guy in the Geico commercials with all the muscles. I'm not familiar with ad but I'll take the compliment. It must be the new lean me.
Although I only ran 55 minutes, it was the sweatiest run I've had in a long time -- maybe all year, because of the humidity. I was soaked right through to my shoes. I was so thirsty when I got home I was ready for a beer.
Just kidding. I've still got a long way to go till September 2006 for my next cold one. But if Lewis & Clark went 15 months without beer, wine or spirits, then I can too. But I'm not going to do anything else they did. Like cross the Rockies on foot and horseback or travel up and down the mighty Columbia and Missouri Rivers on dugout canoes and I'm certainly not going to eat nine pounds of meat per day.
Weight holding steady at 155. Blood pressure was 112/68 this morning so I'm going off the BP medication for a while. Blood sugar was 123 this morning. Not perfect but pretty damn good. Pretty soon I'm going to stop taking diabetes med too. So now my only drug is coffee and vitamins.
Lance Armstrong, who beat cancer like I'm beating hypertension and diabetes, was awesome today winning the time trial in the next to the last stage of the Tour de France.
