I went for a run today with Steve in Frankfort. There were a shit ton of people out there, let me just tell ya. I do not like being around crowds in the first place, so having Steve, or the epitome of how a dog should not behave in public as I sometimes like to call him-with me was...in a word....enjoyable.
I kept him on his leash, and we did pretty well going for a 3 mile jog. I even let him off the chain once we got away from the crowd. Probably 8 minute pace most of the way. Which I might add, for a 212 pound individual is like 6:30 pace for 150 lbs. I felt pretty good and didn't take long to get back to resting heart rate when I was finished, which I can probably attribute to good genes, and the fact that I have been running just about every day this past week.
I am trying to keep my diet healthy. I am not getting any younger, so I have been eating fewer carbohydrates, more protein, and more vegetables. Coffee, multivitamins, and the occasional lozenge to keep my oral fixation to a manageable min, have all been staples in my day to day intake. And Diet Pepsi, I am ashamed to admit. I am trying to cut aspartame out of my diet.
But I do drink at least two cups of water a day. Most days more. Staying hydrated is something I have always been good at, and really learned how to perfect while in the military.
Tonight, after I finish a chapter of the new book I am working on, "The Mount and the Message," I will be going to Chillicothe to interview Marvin Riley for a biography he wants to get published. Very excited to get the tape recorder out and start doing some investigative work...I really want to dig the stories out of this guy and get them on paper.
I hope you are all having a wonderful day. This is just a little experiment blogsite. No real restrictions, but it is a journal primarily, for myself.
