AM-Easy recovery run this morning at 65-70% mhr. 5 miles total on the mill.

PM-Easy 5 miles on the parkway trail. No time or heart rate taken, just enjoyed the scenery.

On a non running note, It's been a hobby of mine to study the financial markets over time. Even to the point of driving family and friends nuts! But I have to say what I heard today makes me a little more worried. The major banks called the fed and held an emergency meeting overnight calling for an immediate bailout AGAIN ! of the big banks such as JP Morgan, Bear Stearns etc. Note that this kind of overnight emergency meeting has not happened since the Great Depression. People hang on to your wallets...

wow, that is not a good thing for me being in the building business. Ive never seen it so dead! pres. bush said not to worry so I hope he knows something we dont! Were going to have to rely on our running for money like the kenyans. That will get us more motivated huh?

We're in Utah. We're immune to silly things like the national economy.

We also need to the dollar to rebound in the currency market, it is really driving up the cost of oil. Also, we need folks to just chill a bit and not react with such emotion to annoucements and things would stabilize.

The way I look at it, stocks are on sale. Gotta think long-term.

Ok guys, points well taken. It's a complicated issue. However, it's partially our own fault considering our obnoxious spending habits. With the rest of the country constantly sacking the value of their property to enhance their lifestyle.

Agreed? or no?

From Paul Petersen on Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 21:59:01

Agreed. It's 50% the fault of consumers for being stupid with debt, and 50% the fault of lenders for being stupid with loans. Everyone got greedy.

From Jon on Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 23:03:37

I agree, too. I think it is unfortunate that everyone wants the government or someone to come in and bail them out from their own stupid mistakes and large risk. Part of a free market economy is downturns that cut off the dead wood (companies) to make the living ones stronger.
