"To Rant or Not to Rant?"

I decided not to, after originally starting my post that way.  It's been a while since I've gone off half cocked about a social issue and I will resist today, simply because when I do tackle this topic, I want it to be a well thought out argument, instead of a rant.  A rant can be very satisfying, but not very useful beyond that.  If you truly want people to consider your position on a hot topic you best do it without the emotion.  Of course you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about, but you'll just have to wait.  Some of you may be able to guess.  I will say that in general I am sick and tired of people taking the moral high road.  Those that sit in judgement.  Those that want to control others for the sake of control.  And that's my little teaser...

And of course you may also ask why the hell a blog about Ironman triathlon would concern itself with social issues?  And  the answer to that is, cause it's my blog and I can do what I want!

So that's it for today cause I'm too stirred up.  It will probably be a long week for my family as I taper for my marathon, and get a little edgier each day.

Finally however, a fond farewell to musician Lou Reed.  King of the misfits, and my kind of guy!

I had a nice little run today.  Seven kms with each kilometer faster than the previous.  That's basically the drill for the week.  Not too much distance, but maintain or even increase the intensity.

7.5 km run
