Fri 23 Dec 2005 - Rest Day - Smart Running
No running or exercising today, I wimped it. Was a really hot and windy day plus I just didn't feel like it. Why do I feel so guilty though.
Trivia - Does Running make you smarter
I read an article in today's Herald Sun that claims researchers believe that running helps with mental stimulation and visual memory. It stopped short of saying it actually makes you smarter.
Well in my case I'm not too sure. I can forget things as well as the next bloke, but then if I didn't run, would I forget even more so, who knows.
I posted a Poll Question on both Cool Running and AusRun forums "Does running make you smarter". The results will be interesting, I'll analyse them in a few weeks and blog the results. The threads are here (Cool Running) and here (AusRun).
