trail running 43:52 4.86 mi (9:02 / mi) +341ft 8:28 / mi
ahr:126 max:143 rhr:49 weight:132.5lbs shoes: pegasus
Easy pace, minimal hills. Legs still felt dead, though maybe not quite so bad at the end.
Yesterday's longer run got me through a Fresh Air interview with someone promoting her new book (titled something like "Sex, Drugs, and Slime") about life on a coral reef. One of Teri's worst interviews, but it was too much trouble to change the channel. Eventually it ended. I started another one, this time an interview with David Filkins about Yeman. Fascinating.
It wasn't done by the time I was done. So I finished it up today. Apparently there's an article of his in a recent New Yorker. Will have to track it down.
And then had time today for most of another interview, this one with a guy who wrote a book about smallpox. Very interesting also. Didn't know that smallpox is estimated to have killed 300 million people. I remember getting the smallpox vaccination when I was a kid, but if I remember correctly from the interview, they stopped doing that in 1972. There used to be legal battles, right up to the Supreme Court, about whether the state could force people to get vaccinated. The answer was, generally, yes. I guess that battle has just moved on to different vaccines nowadays.
Day 2 of 21. On schedule.
