Running Journal, Wednesday, 2010-12-15
Resting heart rate: 59 bpm (60 second test, 30 minutes after exercise)
Body Mass Index (BMI): 22.546 (kilograms/(meters^2))
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): 1,846 calories
Weather: chilling and clear, some ground fog
Temp: 6 C (46 F)
Time: 8:00-8:45 p.m.
Terrain: flat
Comments: Ran through ground fog; found a patch running through the middle of Gibbons Park. The stars shone very clear this evening. The constellation Orion clearly shone; this reminded me of the phrase "Master of Orion", which I did not fully remember until I returned home this evening. I recalled Carl Sagan's series Cosmos, in which he displays how the stars will look to observers from Earth millions of years from now. Orion, per Wikipedia, will remain roughly the same for another 1-2 million years. That bright star in the sky near the moon is Jupiter, which, if you have a pair of decent binoculars, will allow you to see its moons. Remembered during my run how the local Regional Transit light-rail stations have poles with rings on them to hold banners, but I have never seen them utilized. Overall a pretty good run; felt pretty strong at the end. Most holiday lights strike me as either pretentious or perfunctory; the 20-foot snowman in my neighbors yard still entertains me the most. :o)
