Beautiful Brains: Moody. Impulsive. Maddening. Why do teenagers act the way they do? Viewed through the eyes of evolution, their most exasperating traits may be the key to success as adults.
Although you know your teenager takes some chances, it can be a shock to hear about them.
One fine May morning not long ago my oldest son, 17 at the time, phoned to tell me that he had just spent a couple hours at the state police barracks. Apparently he had been driving “a little fast.” What, I asked, was “a little fast”? Turns out this product of my genes and loving care, the boy-man I had swaddled, coddled, cooed at, and then pushed and pulled to the brink of manhood, had been flying down the highway at 113 miles an hour.
Narrative: (Duration – 60:00 mins) → My Run Log Today was another scorcher. The Heat Index was between 102° – 106°. It was a bit hot, but not as bad as previous days. Specifics: Did Stepper HIIT movements as indicated below (30:00 mins) – I worked out at level 2 for this series doing 15 rounds – really didn’t have any problems, body feels good. Afterwards I moved on to a 30 mins run on the Elliptical – Level 2 / 17° / 72-85 SPM. Motivational music – “Gospel to Levi”; one of my top five artist and this is one of my favorite albums. Levi Kreis is one of the most talented singer I know and I find his music compelling. Really enjoyed working out to this. Scroll down and click the link to see the make up and listen. I will likely make a compilation and upload it here eventually. That’s it for today – 14 more days to go. Good livin’…lean forward and keep movin‘.

My Comments: I will be following this report on poverty in America by Matt Black and Trymaine Lee over the coming months. It is troubling that in Duval County (Jacksonville), where I live, over 1 in 5 families live below the poverty line, while just one county over, it is less than 1 in 10.
On June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly in space when the space shuttle Challenger launched on mission STS-7 from Pad 39A, Kennedy Space Center. One of her jobs was to call out “Roll program” seven seconds after launch. “I’ll guarantee that those were the hardest words I ever had to get out of my mouth,” she said later.
Narrative: (Duration – 60:00 mins) → My Run Log Today was another scorcher. The Heat Index was between 102° – 106°. Working out again today was a bear. Specifics: Did Flappy Bird HIIT movements as indicated below (30:00 mins) – I worked out at level I for this series doing 10 rounds – after round 5, the arm circles made my arms wobbly. Afterwards I moved on to a 30 mins run on the Elliptical – Level 1 / 17° / 79-85 SPM. The pace (7:40), but I was trying to hit 4 miles in the allotted time. I fell short by 0.14miles. Motivational music – “Workout Madness 3”; pretty middle of the road – but still cool, scroll down to check it out. That’s it for today – 15 more days to go. Good livin’…lean forward and keep movin‘.
