Trail Running

Hak is back!

My second chemistry exam from earlier this week:

Hak’s brain is coming back to life after years of dormancy.

Jumping from a 66 to a 94 feels great. I just had to re-orient my brain. Scratch that. I had to kick-start my left brain which has apparently been dormant for quite some time. Glad to see it’s coming back.

It just goes to show you what happens when you put in the work. Now, if only boosting my triathlon performance were that easy!

Since we were cut loose from class early, and I had my running gear with me, I decided to celebrate by taking a 40-minute run in the desert behind the college campus. I don’t know if it was the 100-degree temps at 8:30 in the evening or the combination of being pooped out, but I could barely run more than a minute without my heart rate spiking. Lots of run/walk for this run.

Looking into Las Vegas from the outskirts of Nevada State College. Within 10 years, this will be a full-fledged college campus with a gazillion tract homes.

Still, it was great to get out and enjoy the desert and the realization that my near 40-year-old brain is not as rusty as I thought.

Find your edge and dance upon it.
