Amazing

It's amazing to see you guys out running in all kinds of weather. A good way to get going is to get on the exercise equipment for about 10 or 15 minutes, then stretch, then out into the cood.

You know what else is amazing? Cable TV. This morning I was able to flip back and forth between a bio on Albert Einstein on the History Channel, and The Three Stooges Meet Snow White. In college I can remember using a contrast bath - ten minute of ice water and ten minutes of heat - moving between the two. It was a lot like that, but involved using my brain instead of muscles. Intellectually it was a great big contrast.
Albert's bio was the usual. Born at a very early age. Went to school. Figured out E equals MC squared. Then he dies. The Three Stooges featured Larry, Moe and Curly Joe. I never felt that Curly Joe was as funny as the original Curly, but was probably better than the dead Curly.
It was the regular Snow White story, but get this: Some of it was done on ice skates! It did very well in Canada I'm told. I would recommend this movie to anyone locked in a cellar with nothing else to watch. I did watch the whole thing however - just for the contrast.

See you tomorrow at winter conditioning.
