Thanksgiving and essays 11/29/17

Wow, Thanksgiving at home in Arkansas was great but the caloric intake caused havoc with my training.  I was able to get in three days of some exercise.  That was enough so that when I got back 2 days ago I was not completely starting from zero again.  My runs and workouts this week have not been great but I am bouncing back nicely.

Today I finished my pre-history of Korea essay.  Yea!  I now have only one left to do.... an essay on going a day with earplugs and experiencing what deafness might be like.  I chose deafness because I am already going slightly deaf in one ear (my left) and need to experience what I may end up like in a few years.
