750am (2-B). 1030am (2-B). 215pm (2-B). 440pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 605am: Overcast, breezy with temps to about 30.

Did the Weekly Cleaning

Watched ' TOP FIVE' (Kanopy). A Black comic is world renowned for his 'funny stuff' and he vows to be more serious in the future because 'he has more to offer' than just jokes and laughs. He allows a female journalist to follow him around the streets of NYC while he hypes his new film where he stars as the leader of a slave revolt in 18th century Haiti. But his upcoming wedding to a reality TV star makes his new direction seem false; with Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, Kevin Hart, J.B. Smoove, Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, Tom Papa, and a collection of comics and rappers that escaped me.  (Written and directed by Chris Rock). I loved it! Title Explained: Various characters give their picks for the 'Top Five Rappers of All Time'. 

Began 'BLACK CROWS' (Netflix). It's 'Arab Agitprop' about what goes on within an ISIS cell.  Although the melodrama has its share of clichés (and an excess of actors and actresses in too much makeup!), it is noteworthy because the points of view are so different from our western stereotypes. Filmed in Lebanon by a Saudi production company.  Watched an episode and a half of the first two segments: 30 total. I'm in for a couple more episodes at least. 

1155am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to try to do Five Miles. My left foot is a little sore from yesterday's walk. 

1210pm: FIVE MILES AT mostly 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT.  My foot was not a factor after the first couple of minutes;  began RYAN SICKLER on J.R.E. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps

Reading 'THE SECOND SON'

350pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and began BOBBY LEE on NEAL BRENNAN 'Blocks'.

 445pm:   In the tub with 'THE SECOND SON' and listening to CREAM- Royal Albert Hall 2005; JAMES BROWN Playlist. 

More of RYAN SICKLER on J.R.E..

Began 'YOU CANNOT HIDE' (Netflix). A complex storyline about a woman and her teenage daughter who are under 'witness protection' in Madrid, Spain. The woman's husband was a crime boss in Mexico City and she testified against him and has been relocated to Madrid. And out of the blue the daughter has been kidnapped.  Who initiated the kidnapping and what is the motivation have not been addressed, but it's got my interest and I will check out more of this Spanish series.  Shut it down at 32 minutes into episode #2.
