817 Calories!?

Yes, it has been a few days since a posting. More sickness and life stuff goings and comings made it difficult to find the time. Although I did make it for a very long Precor date on Friday night. 60 minutes and over 5. something miles. Busy weekend with large family gathering on Saturday. Sunday is typically my day of rest from most things in life except Church. However, I was down with an intestinal thing and so was my oldest that day. Who is still today but slogged out his first day of 3rd grade anyway. Proud of that young dude.

Well, anyway, after watching my Seachickens play my wifes favorite SD Chargers, and Michelle Obama very nice speech - I did it. Pavement. Or, should I say concrete sidewalk. A nice flat of 4.4 miles with a pre and post run walk. It did take about 47 minutes but it was very humid. Yes, I said humid. Even here in Vegas. Thunderstorm roll thru this afternoon. Cooled things down to the mid 90's by 9:00 PM when I took off. However, the mugginess made it seem like I was back in NE Kansas running in Topeka. Lived there for years, and I can honestly say I do NOT miss running in that soupy muggy air. Great people back there, but I don't miss the climate or weather.

Anyway, RW (Runners World) calorie calculator for my 245 pounds and distance ran, says I burned 817 calories? Do you believe that? I don't, but who I am to question the science of the RW editorial board?

Well the Chickens lost by 2. Sounds like a baseball score loss/deficit. My oldest has temp of 102 tonight. I think the second day of school is in doubt. My little Princess had her first day of kindergarten. She did really well. Proud of her as well. My second oldest the soccer dude had a great first of Second grade. My wife is snoring behind me and I am going to join her.
