Another Good Reason to Run

Another good reason to run - less chance of developing Dementia later in life. So besides mental stimulus like Sudoku, exercise has shown to be beneficial to our brain. I’m suspecting an increase blood flow to the brain keeps it happy.

“Exercise also boosts metabolism, decreases stress and improves mood and attention, all of which help the brain perform better.” –MSNBC
Today’s run was cloaked in fog. I had to be vigilant for vehicles. I’m amazed at how many people drive around in the fog with their headlights OFF.
I also spotted various porch side Halloween decorations along the way. Sadly, not as many indigenous pumpkins this year – lot’s of ceramic and plastic ones…probably from China.
