Evolutionists don't own ancient man

Some minimalists and paleo dieters are rather scornful of creationists in their midst.  But instead of scorn, they should see the creationist as a strong ally in applying knowlege of ancient man to modern day human health issues.

The evolutionist paleo dieter says that man evolved rapidly before the paleolithic era, lived in utopia during the paleolithic era, and then has not really had enough time to evolve to a rapidly changing world since.  He must toe a narrow line about the speed and practicality of evolution. 

The creationist primitive man dieter says that God created man eactly as he is today.  Agriculture was a curse tossed upon man after he lost the utopia of the Garden of Eden, and he has not changed significantly since except in his collection of knowlege and tools. 

The premise of the existance of a creator God may not make sense to the evolutionist, but the resulting conclusions of the creationist are more strongly consistent with the idea that man has not changed since he lived in utopia, and may be well served by some of the eating and exercise habits of utopian men.

A word from Coach Gordo

We were discussing warmups on Minimalsit Runner, and I mentioned that I run slow enough that I can't really run slower to warm up, but I wasn't really worried about being slow.  Gordo had this encouragement for me:

> If I can get up to regular decently long runs at my slow
> pace, then I'll worry about how to speed up.

Time and heart rate are the goals not likely to get you in trouble.
Step one is to get healthy. Step two is to get fit. Step three is to get efficient. Getting fast might be step four. Or maybe I forgot one or two. ;) It's way down the list and if you never get there, so what?

Long Walks

Did two miles of the Genesee River Trail on Saturday.  It is about four miles from my house to the Mind the Ducks starting line, and this hike was down and back one of the more plesant miles along that route, from the Maplewood Rose Garden to the Ridge Road underpass.  Maybe before winter hits we can cover the whole distance on foot in a sitting.

Resoling time AGAIN...

The deerskin moccasins have developed another hole.  This is in exactly the same place on the pad of my right foot as the first through-hole, but has not progressed as far, only showing as a crack in the leather.  I'm considering making a whole new pair of moccasins out of upholstery leather this time.  I also should get working on a pair of winter boots before winter gets here.
