Funny Little Moments

I decided last night that when I went running this morning I'd stretch while watching the French news on my laptop. Got up, went running, listened to the French podcast - which P.S. is generally much better about international coverage. So there I am stretching away while my heart beat slows down when the end segment was about a French study about the "American" sport of jogging with aging. The study compared people over the age of 50 who run a few times a week versus those who don't. These French scientists were "astounded" at the profound difference it made. Those who ran regularly were less handicapped, had a longer active life, and died much later than their sedentary counterparts. By the end of the study 34% of the sedentary people had died whereas only 15% of the runners had passed away. If that isn't motivation to go running tomorrow as well, I don't know what is.
