Sep. 16th, 2008 08:50 amThis morning I put on my heart monitor for my walk. I was curious to see how aerobic I was and how many calories I was burning. Well, not very aerobic - but I did burn a few calories. 46 minute walk at podcast pace (I walk faster to music) burned 293 calories. I think I may continue wearing the monitor - it's fairly motivating.
My walk podcast this morning was from PRI Selected Shorts: Refresh, Refresh. It's about a boy in a town (Crow Oregon) where all the fathers were shipped off to Iraq - and what it did to the boys. Probably the best short to date I've heard from PRI. After it ended I couldn't help wondering if the turmoil these boys went through also goes through the heads of Islamic Extremists children. Talk about a vicious cycle. If you do podcasts, this is worth a listen to.
