TOUGH RUN

After purchasing some groceries at Super H, I started the slow cooker for some sinigang. The slow cooker I have isn't that large though, so I couldn't really fit that much meat in the thing. I smashed it all in there though and the soup was almost overflowing.

Then I went for a bike ride and run at Lorbeer. I was pretty tired or at least I felt that way. I can tell when my body feels tired because it feels like I get a little warmer. It's almost like my body is beggin' me for a nap. I thought that by the time I warmed-up with the bike ride to the middle school, I'd get over it. But that's not what happened.

During the run, my body felt tired. It wasn't like the run I had a few days ago when I wasn't tired and the only thing that felt tough was the pounding on my back. Instead, I felt physically tired, my body felt weak and my stamina was low. I figured I'd take it easy so after every mile I took a breather and rested.

When I got back, I checked on the sinigang and realized it wasn't even close to being cooked. The meat was still tough and the onions and tomatoes were still whole. Usually, I like cooking my sinigang to the point when the onions and tomatoes have broken down and the meat is super tender. So I took everything out and put them on the stove and just cooked them normally. I suspect that if I were to do this again in a crockpot, I'd have to cook it for half the day.

I made my first teaser bet today which is basically another way to play a parlay. But instead, you also get additional points on the bet but the payout just isn't as great. I think I'll start experimenting with this method. It seems way too easy.

Then I watched a very interesting episode of Nova ScienceNow. It was about how smart animals are and the different experiments that attempt to determine what level of intelligence they have. Neil deGrasse Tyson always finishes with a cosmic perspective and this particular episode's was a good one.
