Well January 2004 has come to a close and looking back this month was not very intense as far as fitness was concerned. I did however manage to go out on an active note. I rode the stationary bike and hit the pool for a swim  The first one since I hurt my back earlier this month. On past Saturday mornings the pool has very few people swimming laps. Today how ever there must have been 15 people in the 3 lanes. I could tell I hadn't swam laps in a while as my stamina was less than optimal. (use it or loose it) I forgot my MP3 player at home so I had no tunes on the bike. The ride seemed a lot longer without music. I can't believe how much I sweat. In the beginning I thought it was because I was out of shape, over weight and a smoker. But I'm still seeing a river of workout dew running down my face and soaking my shirt. If I sit in the forward position on the bike so the drips fall off my forehead I can produce 22 drips every 5 seconds. I should measure the volume of fluid one day to determine how fast I dehydrate. Humm I just googled Excessive sweating and found out it has a medical name - Hyperhydrosis - and a website excessivesweating.org. I guess I could electrocute my face 3 times a week to stop the rain. Nah.
