Back from six days in the Eje Cafetero, Colombia's coffee country, where I logged 30 miles running in addition to a few nice hikes. I also helped clear some lungs partially inflamed by Bogota's pollution, for which I've purchased a nose-mouth mask with a filter for commuting to work on my bike. The sulfur content in Bogota's diesel is poisonously high and nobody seems to care that the buses are spewing this stuff into cyclist and pedestrian lungs with a vengeance. Meantime, I'm boosting my mileage a bit as time allows, at least while on vacation. Check out this WSJ article about Dr. Paul Williams, who recommends that people who regularly exercise add more to their menu to significantly lower the risk of everything from stroke to prostate enlargment.
