Healthy Lifestyle Tip ~ Here’s How to Calculate Your Calories will Walking or Running
Calculating Your Calorie Burn While Walking or Running
The American College of Sports Medicine journal “Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise” reports how to calculate an equivalent calorie burn between walking and running. If you walk 3 to 5 mph, your calorie burn is equal to your body weight multiplied by .30 for each mile. When you run, your calorie burn is equal to your body weight multiplied by .63 for each mile. A 150-lb. person burns 45 calories walking a mile and 94.5 calories running a mile. By this standard, at all body weights, you have to walk 2.1 times the distance to burn the same amount of calories as running.
Thinking Out Loud ~ We All Deserve Respect and Dignity
In her book, We Should All be Feminists, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes, “Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.” P. 40
NOTE: Perhaps it is because I was raised by my mom and her sisters while my dad was away at war. Or, because I was the only male in a household of six females (my wife and 5 daughters) that I am not uncomfortable around strong, independent women. They shaped the culture in which I grew up and lived. They did not let the culture shape them.

Poem for Today ~ The Dawn’s Awake
The Dawn’s Awake
Donald Leland Bohanan
The Dawn’s awake!
A flash of smoldering flame and fire
Ignites the East. Then, higher, higher,
O’er all the sky so gray, forlorn,
The torch of gold is borne.
The Dawn’s awake!
The dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills.
And music singing in the hills
A pæen of eternal spring
Voices the new awakening.
The Dawn’s awake!
Whispers of pent-up harmonies,
With the mingled fragrance of the trees;
Faint snaches of half-forgotten song—
Fathers! Torn and numb,—
The boon of light we craved, awaited long,
Has come, has come!

Feeling Good ~ What Really Makes Me Happy
I don’t need drink to feel good. I don’t need to a trip to an exotic destination to feel good.
When I know I am loved and can share my love in return my heart is at peace. It’s all good.
Joke of the Day
Joe: “I told my supervisor I was quitting my job as a traffic cop.”
