Blah days, charmed life.

Wed. 8-8-07

Planned long run but 105+F heat index, questionable air quality. Opted for a swim instead.

Swim 41mins, 3rd stroke breathing, catchup then free, last 15mins 2-3 stroke breath free. Did not feel good at all, no groove. Maybe run before swim, as on Mon., is a helpful warmup? 3rd stroke breathing felt more taxing today, never became comfortable. Headache came on again.

Core – 15mins - crunches, etc., push ups, curls.

The good life it is.

Health. Air conditioned comfort. Clean water never more than a few paces away. Likewise, food. Time and ability to pursue hobbies. A family loaded with solid citizens. Far removed from the hardships prevalent elsewhere. A bad thing, that removed part? Maybe. Maybe not. No point here, just living the charmed life, living it thankfully at the moment.
