Sequel to Sapiens. It applies the same cold-blooded approach to everything as it tries to examine where we are headed as the human race. PROS: This guy is smart!

The author has done his…

Wired for Intimacy: How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain. Book Review

Interesting book and specially useful for Christians who want to understand more about the issue of pornography.

(Español abajo) It's over! After #training for more than four months for this race, last Sunday I sprained my ankle and wasn't able to walk properly for several days. Obviously, I feared I wouldn't be able to join the #race. Last night I did a short-easy run to test the waters and though it wasn't great, I felt I could run. So I bought an ankle supporter and raced today. To my surprise I felt strong and ended up finishing my first official #HalfMarathon beating by more than 20 minutes the time I had during training. Of course, the lack of movement this week means that my muscles are very #sore now and the ankle is swollen again. However, I can focus on recovery from here. Considering that I ran my first #5k just a few months ago, I'm happy with the progress I've achieved and I am already thinking of the next challenge 😉 https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2290224602?share_unique_id=2 ¡Por fin! Tras más de cuatro meses de entrenamiento para esta carrera, el domingo pasado me torcí el tobillo y no pude caminar bien por varios días. Lógicamente, supuse que no podría #correr pero anoche me decidí a hacer una #trotada corta y fácil. Aunque no me sentí genial, pude correr. Así que me compré un soporte para el tobillo y decidí participar en el evento. Para mi sorpresa, hoy me sentí relativamente bien y terminé mi #primeraMediaMaratón con una ventaja de más de veinte minutos contra el tiempo que logré en entrenamiento. Obviamente, la falta de movimiento esta semana me puso los músculos muy adoloridos y el tobillo se me inflamó otra vez. Sin embargo, de aquí ya me puedo enfocar en la recuperación. Considerando que recién corrí mis primeros #5km hace unos meses, estoy muy feliz con el progreso que he alcanzado y ya estoy pensando en el próximo desafío 😎 #pr #shouhashi2017 #尚巴志ハーフマラソン #尚巴志 #firstHalfMarathon #RunForYourLife #runnersofinstagram #garmin #strava #run #nrc #mediamaratón #NuevoRécord #lesión #esguince #sprainedankle #goals #selfimprovement (at Nanjo-shi, Okinawa, Japan)

It was supposed to be a one hour run, but as I was feeling strong, I just kept going until eventually I ended up completing my #firstHalfMarathon! 😉 Of course, the plan is to go faster during the actual race 😎 Se supone que iba a correr solo una hora, pero me sentí fuerte y seguí yendo. Y así, terminé completando mi #primeraMediaMaratón 😅 Por supuesto, el plan es ir más rápido durante la carrera 😉 #halfmarathontraining #shouhashi2017 #RunForYourLife #running #runnersofinstagram #garmin #nikerun #NewRecord #NuevoRécord #mediamaratón #HalfMarathon #runToTheHills #correr #corredores #尚巴志ハーフマラソン #尚巴志 #トレーニング (at Okinawa Prefecture)

As my training for the #HalfMarathon enters its final month. I had a very nice 2 hour #easyrun I felt strong and enjoyed listening to an audiobook. / Mientras entro al último mes de mi entrenamiento para la #mediamaraton, me sentí fuerte y disfruté al escuchar un audiolibro. #shouhashihalfmarathon #shouhashi2017 #RunForYourLife #running #runnersofinstagram

Super proud of myself. I broke a barrier and established a new personal record⌚ A couple months ago it would have been impossible but today I was able to run a #10k under an hour 🏃 It was hard and I had to wake up at 4am 🌒 to escape the scorching Okinawa heat, but it is done! / Muy orgulloso de mí. Hoy rompí una barrera y establecí un nuevo récord personal 😎 Hace algunos meses hubiera sido imposible pero hoy logré #correr #10km en menos de una hora. Fue difícil y me tocó levantarme a las cuatro de la mañana para evitar el sol de #Okinawa 🌞 ¡pero lo hice! #pr #runnersofinstagram #garmin #nikerun #NewRecord #HalfMarathonTraining #shouhashi2017 #Entrenamiento #RunForYourLife #earlybird #corredores #subone10k #Japan (at 与那原町)

Today I ran my farthest, 14km! And even though I had to stop to drink from a fountain, I still broke my previous #10k record. Now, without a doubt it was the hardest run I've had up to this point. But as I keep training for the upcoming #HalfMarathon I am still waiting for the #runnersHigh, if anything today after running I experienced #runnersLow 😅 / Hoy batí mi récord de distancia, ¡14km! Y aunque tuve que detenerme a beber en una fuente, aun así rompí mi récord anterior de #10km. Sin duda alguna fue la carrera más pesada que he hecho hasta ahora. Pero mientras continúo con mi entrenamiento para la #mediamaratón puedo ver las mejoras, aunque todavía no puedo decir que lo disfruto 😥 #running #runners #runnersofinstagram #halfmarathontraining #pr #garmin #nrc #shouhashihalfmarathon #shouhashi2017 #selfimprovement #corredores #Okinawa #Japan #latinoEnAsia (at Okinawa Prefecture)

Today I measured my maximum heart rate by basically running in intervals until exhaustion. It was tough, but this amazing sunrise made it a bit easier to bear 🤓 #mhr #runner #okinawa | Hoy medí mi máximo ritmo cardíaco corriendo en intervalos hasta el punto de fatiga. Fue difícil pero este amanecer me ayudó a aguantar 😅 #landscapes #sunrise (at Yonabaru, Okinawa)
