A potpourri of activity today :)

One mile jog warming up with Abby before her race at the school down south. I'm really proud of her 6:09 mile today. She maximizes her ability in every race. Then 4.25 hard eliptickle miles followed by a hard mile on the stair master.

The Sugar House 24 Hour Fitness was even more foul and disgusting that usual today. I feel like that's one of the reasons I rarely get sick. You get exposed to every sort of bug there which builds up a powerful immunity. You become like the Europeans who survived the Black Death in Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Hoping Alex Smith and the Chiefs can figure out how to knock off the Patriots now.

haha that's pretty funny, and true! If you can survive that gross 24 hour Fitness, you probably do have an insanely strong immune system! I haven't been there in 3 years and don't miss it one bit!

You recommend that book?

I do recommend it Jon. Also, the PBS video based on it is good too. Free on youtube last time I checked.
