turns out that path in the park is like a kilometer (done with precise distance-between-fingers-on-map measurements) and this morning I went around 5 times, making 5k/three miles. I stopped for 30-60 sec after each lap the first three times, but that's still hardly shabby ( Read more... )

went running again! I'm already stopping less- it also probably helped with motivation that I went laps around the whole park rather than the 2-minute mini-track.

weeeell, I got less than four hours of sleep last night and although I felt tired at points during the day, it was nowhere near as unbearable as I've felt some other times. It's 9pm and I've done two workouts but am feeling fine.
Must have been the caffeine. Maybe also the high of a ( Good Row! )

Yes, when Satan is finally abyssed, the 'beastly' nature of felines will be forever abolished, and they will be fit companions for humans on Paradise Earth! Faaascinating (and thoroughly thought-out) discussion of just how unholy our fine feline friends are to (?)Jehovah's Witnesses. A choice passage: Additionally, cats practice many unclean ( Read more... )
