Today: I walked my 5 hill 5 miler plus 1.2 to 1:30:28, which, while not fast (14:35 mpm) was my fastest time for this course since last October (before my knee troubles) I was 30:38 for the final 2.2 miles (about 13:50 mpm) which was not that bad since it was done in a shower. The cooler day helped too.
Yesterday: 2 mile walk plus some weights beforehand: pull ups: 5 sets of 6, 8, 2 sets of 6, 5 “penalty set”.
bench: 10 x 134, 3 sets of 6 x 155
high incline: 3 sets of 6 x 105
light low handle trap bar deadlifts: 3 sets of 10 x 134 (for loosening up purposes)
Commentary: I’ve kept my mouth shut on the issues of the day, more than I ever have. Reasons:
- If I said what I truly think, I’d have no friends, no spouse, and I’d probably get disowned.
- I also know that my knowledge and point of views are limited. Some of what I honestly think is true is either wrong, or partly wrong.
Yes, I voted for Harris. I’d do so again. But I do not think that all, or even most Trump voters are evil and stupid. I do not agree with everything that people think most liberals stand for. I honestly think that the vast majority of people from every demographic are at least “reasonably good” people, even if they completely disagree with me about things. And, NONE of us are perfect. We all have gaps in our knowledge, experience and are delusional at least some of the time.
So, the older I get, the more I keep my mouth shut.
