Hello Bob, Don't know if my prior response got thru, however at this time temps range from the low 70's in am to high 80's during the day. Much is mitigated by running, cycling, etc onthe beautiful path network (paved) down by the Boise River. It's an arid climate, so easy to tolerate.. Been teeeeeeeeelling some of the run organizers about UJENA; will put Allen, the Robie Crk Half Marathon documentarian in touch,. Best, Jim

Somewhat rainy, but amazing how the body warms up over the miles.! wil hope for improved weather tomorrow.

Had good energy level today, running lite and easy; every interaction afterwards seemed very positive. Yes! Viva la energia de la vida!!

Very cold ride into wind to Morgan Hill this am. Return was more merciful; stopped for a Starbucks refill & picked a few roadside oranges; only saw one other cyclist; probably half my age.!

Wow! Cold out there, soemwhat revived 2nd half of run, feel better running up some road inclines; maybe system just adjusting to Daylite Svngs change yesterday..

It is going to take me a few days to get used to the time change. Congrats! You worked out and posted every day last week. You win $50. Lets do it again!!

Meditative Run before church presentation; clear-headed and energized!!

Saturaday very alive; flowed thru a 7 miler; friendly folks of bikepath.

Felt light and vital, multitude of creative thoughts percolated up while in easy meditative motion; thinking about presentation at Church Sun. am; hopefully can spark more aerobic interest among those who may become mistaken for hippos if that 1st big step for lifestyle change stays ponderous..!

You are funny...

Good quads workout; actually did some recycling en route; now have a better appreciation how 'sherpas' must feel. Running so. SJ tomorrow against the hills.

Cool & windy, but felt great.!!

Run before cardiac appt. at VA-Palo Alto--cold.!!

Good to get your heart rate up before you go in for a cardiac appointment.
