Ents report back about their encounters. Read the selection below from an account of one of these
Aztec messengers sharing his experience with Montezuma.
The Messanger told him: "A thing like a ball of stone comes out of its entrails: it comes
out shooting sparks and raining fire. The smoke that comes out of it has a pestilent
odor, like that of rotten mud. This odor penetrates even to the brain and causes the
greatest discomfort. If the cannon is aimed against a mountain, the mountain splits and
cracks open. If it is aimed against a tree, it shatters the tree into splinters. This is a most
unnatural sight, as if the tree had exploded from within.
"Their trappings and arms are all made of iron. They dress in iron and wear iron casques
[helmets) on their heads. Their swords are iron; their bows are iron; their shields are
iron; their spears are iron. Their deer carry them on their backs wherever they wish to
go. These deer, our lord, are as tall as the roof of a house."
The messanger also said: "The strangers' bodies are completely covered, so that only
their faces can be seen. Their skin is white, as if it were made of lime. They have yellow
hair, though some of them have black. Their beards are long and yellow, and their
moustaches are also yellow. Their hair is curly, with very fine strands.
"Their dogs are enormous, with flat ears and long, dangling tongues. The color of their
eyes is a burning yellow; their eyes flash fire and shoot off sparks. Their bellies are
hollow, their flanks long and narrow. They are tireless and very powerful. They bound
here and there, panting, with their tongues hanging out. And they are spotted like an
ocelot." When (Montezuma) heard this report, he was filled with terror, it was it his heart
had fainted, as if it had shriveled. It was as if he were conquered by despair.

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
