RAF223: Hydration and Sports with David Hernandez

Welcome to the 72nd in our series, Shattering the Yoyo. Episode 100 was a lot of fun to do. It's a real milestone for a podcaster. Years ago, I heard that the average podcast lasted about seven episodes. It is probably even less than that now. So, there's a sense of accomplishment that goes with sticking with it long enough to see this milestone. Of course, by now, I have over 350 episodes, and I have no intention of stopping. We've also been going for over six years now, and things have changed a lot. We lived through COVID and despite the effort put into this series I have been victim to the yo-yo effect, such that now I am near my all-time highest weight, and am trying to get started on the right path back to a healthy weight.

Welcome to Running: A FEVER. My name is Michael Davis, and this is a podcast about fitness, diet, and medicine. My goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the very end. I love my life enough to make it last as long as possible. If you feel the same way, you're in the right place.

Back in the old days, I took one night and had a unique experience. I went to the demolition derby, which comes to my town every spring and fall. I had never experienced anything like it and haven't since. I haven't returned to another one for some reason, though it was a lot of fun.

It's a beautiful day at Lake Fayetteville. The car says 58 degrees. In the garage, it was 54, so it's actually warmer out here. The phone says 61, so it's probably 61 at the airport. That's where most weather stations are. They have to know the weather so they can tell the pilots and calculate atmospheric pressure and wind speed. It's sunny out here, and it's not sunny in my garage, so that might have something to do with the temperature difference.

We've talked about stress in the past, and I was thinking today about all the things in the world that can give us stress. Big picture things. We've talked about the personal things. But big-picture macro things in the world? "2024" rhymes with "war," and certainly, that is happening worldwide. The United States is in a shooting war. So are several other countries. And all the things that come along with war.

I'm recording on my phone today, actually holding the phone up to my face, because I like recording podcasts. And I brought the recorder that I normally use, but I forgot the memory card. This doesn't sound too bad being recorded on my phone, and hopefully, I don't get tired of holding it up to my face.

Welcome to the 70th installment in our series, Shattering the Yoyo. In this episode, we review episode 98, which was published on November 23, 2018, with the original title Biometrics Results. I recorded it driving to and from the location at my employer, where I had my biometric screening, and got the preliminary results, which are pretty much the final results; they had to test the mouth swab to prove I'm not a tobacco user. But I knew I would pass that.

I think I would like to go to some of these locations away from the area where I live. I don't know if I want to play the dead animal pelt matching game, but it would be nice to do some hiking. It's like anything. Variety is the spice of life. I can get burned out on certain foods, healthy or not; as beautiful as it is, going to Lake Fayetteville exclusively can have a similar result. And there are plenty of places to go within 100 miles of where I live. Lots of beautiful state parks, you've heard me experience in many episodes that have come out in the past.

I'm going to warm up here a little bit. It's pretty cold outside. I don't know if "warm up" is the appropriate term to use. But I can try to get some blood circulating. It's something that requires patience. Any warm-up requires patience. I am a singer in a band, and if I don't warm up my voice, I'll either damage my voice or I won't be able to sing very well. But singing is a very physical thing. Your instrument is actually part of your body.
