I like to run in the early morning. If I am on my game I get my run in before 9am. It is cooler that time of morning and it leaves me the rest of the day to do whatever I want.
I run a trail not to far from the apartment. The trail was build just to get San Antonioians off their fat asses and get them moving. It is a three mile lap and for the most part every morning there is a smattering of people walking the trail. A few runners but not many.
The trail crosses a street in two places and I usually stop and walk across the road. In one part there has been much construction going on and loads of Mexicans doing whatever as part of the road crew.
I have noticed over the past three weeks these road crew workers do as little as possible. In fact, the last four or five times I have run the trail I have noticed every single worker sitting in the trucks not doing anything. It is no wonder it takes 8 months to finish one small stretch of road.
Not attempting to be racist, but the people of latin decent seem to not be overly motivated to work around these parts. In the complex they are the maintence people and here they are all over 300 lbs and zip around the complex in golf carts. I have yet to see any of them walk more than 10 feet.
this part of the country is very unhealthy with obesity, heart disease and diabetes much higher than the national average. It would be a CV surgeons dream to set up shop in this part of the country and that also allows me to come here to work as a traveller. So when i read the blogs about new nurses not finding jobs and willing to move anywhere to work I think maybe they should all relocate to texas, because there are so many unhealthy here to allow all of us to work for a very long time.
