Fall 2014 (6-120) – Day 14

Narrative: (Duration – 43.00 mins) →  My Nike Line
Second fastest run  in a very very long time.  I ran on the elliptical with the following constraints – 15degree incline, 2 resistance  and a steady 80+ SPM pace.  This time around Pitbull was in my earphones. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Run was the fastest in a very very long time.  I ran on the elliptical with the following constraints – 15degree incline, 2 resistance  and a steady 80+ SPM pace.  Shifted over to listening to Amazon to push my workout; it was ok, I need to streamline the songs a bit more tho. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Ferguson from Afar: How the World Sees the Protests

Ferguson from Afar: How the World Sees the Protests

As the turmoil in Ferguson, Missouri, unfolds, questions about the United States’ commitment to human rights are once more headlining news coverage around the world. The uncomfortable international spotlight on such domestic problems should not be surprising. American racial inequality regularly dominated foreign news coverage during the 1950s and 1960s. U.S. policymakers were eventually forced to respond, in part to protect America’s image abroad.  Read more on Foreign Affairs

My thoughts:
I am not sure if this is a defining moment in our history, but it certainly points to the fact that we have a far way yet to go in fixing us.  This means that we, as a country, must be careful with motes.

Really awesome workout today on the elliptical.  I was able to work between 15 – 20 degree incline, 2 resistance at an average rate of around 82 SPM.  I can feel my body getting fitter as I would not be able to maintain that pace a few weeks ago.   The music by Pandora this time was also on point.  I am really diggin’ the Latino flavor right now – a litttle PitBull and J-Lo…yes!  That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Nice incline walk-run today.  Felt good with some good music from Rdio.  Started feeling a bit tired at the 4.7 mile point but not too much.  The music was able to push me through.   That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’
