On perspiration
It’s no secret that my sweat rate can be described as “godlike” but disclosing this usually elicits one or two questions. “What do the gods sweat like???” To answer this, I invite you to come to the Green Lake track any Tuesday evening around 7 or Madison park on Saturday mornings to find out. The other common question is: “What is wrong with you?” That one is harder to answer.
But anyway tonight I was scheduled for some variable pace running and I wimped out. Sort of, anyway - I’ve had some pretty sore muscles developing and don’t want to push myself this close to Portland so I decided to skip running and hooked up my bike on its stationary rider and ride for an hour. When you take a godlike sweat rate and keep it indoors where evaporation rates are suppressed, the results are astonishing. I had to keep the small animals in my house out of the basement for their own safety.
