Is autumn coming or not? (Pub October 18,2024)

Friday 10/4/2024

Last week I felt very good on my runs, I thought that autumn had finally arrived. On Friday I ran 8.7 km and during that day I thought that next week, the current one, I could already be running the 10 km route. 

But it wasn't like that at all, the summer humidity returned with great force, more than 80%, so on Wednesday of this week I ended up running only 6.9 km and, honestly, I felt more than satisfied. Today, Friday, I decided that despite the humidity I should run at least 9 km, the half-marathon was approaching, and I was going very slow in my preparation, I was close, it was 8.9, and I arrived drenched in sweat. I went to stretch in the pool and dive in. When I got out of the pool, I started to dry off. After a while, I realized that it was no longer the water that was drying me, but the sweat.

In today's race, I started in the dark, but when I arrived at Miramar it was already light, so I almost didn't use the little lamp that I use in my visor. Despite the humidity, it was a good race, I really enjoyed it, it's good therapy, I'm lucky to have it.

During my races, both this week, I asked myself many questions, nothing to do with the beginning of Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency, those who know me are clear that the 4T does not convince me, but the truth is I hope that the President will like it. go very well, if it goes well for her, it will go well for all of us. I am referring to objective results, not other data.

No, the truth is that since high school I have lived in continuous doubt, as a way of living and trying to understand life, more correctly reality.

For me, it has always been, "I doubt, therefore I am" and while I run I question everything, it must be the effect of the endocannabinoids.

In today's race, I ended up wondering if the Earth really is a paradise for life. That led me to two questions, the first, is what is life? Since I can remember I have been asking myself that question and, the truth is, I still haven't found a definition, and I'm not referring to a list of the characteristics of living beings. , but to what is life?, I have never found a convincing answer.

The second question was, is the Earth friendly to life? The obvious answer would be to say yes, you just have to look at the great biological diversity that currently exists. But you will see that in textbooks and in all the places that talk about the history of life on earth, they mention that there have been 5 mass extinctions.

But while I was running I counted at least 8, how many more than 8, who knows?, but at least 8. The 5 that everyone talks about, the one we are currently experiencing. The others are before the Cambrian, but once they existed, they existed.

But that's where I was when I found myself in the house again, drenched in sweat, wondering when fall will come.

But a while ago I had my answer...

The Chanates have arrived, and now autumn has arrived.
