Cooler run

Effect of 15 degree cooler temp (started earlier when it was 84) over the same 7 mile route: 45 seconds per mile and no breaks required. Didn’t feel dizzy at the end of the run either πŸ™‚

Fixing the pool

600185_10151084583266804_2006332472_n4 years of engineering and it still took me 45 minutes to realize that the doggone capacitor is kaput. Good news – the more expensive motor is fine. All fixed. I am jumping back in the pool.

It is all in the distribution

Last night, over dinner, I was explaining to my good friend Garry Capers that I cannot seem to understand my body. If I double my running in a month, my body weight remains the same. This time in India, I ate more sweets, fried foods, junk foods and rice than you can shake a stick at. Came back home and sure enough, the weight was exactly the same at 158 pounds. Totally incomprehensible. He rather wisely pointed out that “You may have the same weight but you are carrying it differently” πŸ™‚ Touche!!
BTW, I am so going to hate anybody who “Like”s this πŸ™‚

Pollsters

USA Today headline (online): “Poll finds Mormons excited about Romney”. Wow! I think that poll further revealed that the earth is round, we get hungry when we do not eat and pollsters should be looking for a real job πŸ™‚
