+ Still trying to thread-schedule! Look for an Otto EP from me by the end of the week, as well as a start to those OOMs I've been promising

Well. I refuse to "run" a timed mile, so really, you're doing great in my book. ^_^

And I have knitted a pair of fingerless gloves with vintage wool, successfully swatched a mystery fiber and made it wearable, and done my Daily Dragon in half an hour!

........The knitting and the swatching was not today. Those were this weekend.

[mercuriazs]

oooooh. fingerless gloves. very niiiiice.

[e_mily]

Yes. There was a bit of an epiphany:

Vintage wool is nice, but will be worn through in some places.

:DDDDDDDD

Ahahaha I asked my mother, "There's no possible way that the next time I run will be as bad as this time, is there?"

She was .... very comment-withholding.

lfsjlkf in that case I meant "will I want to die afterwards as much as I did this morning."

I wanted to die A LOT.

It kind of snuck up on my and the last quarter-mile was, like. Death.

Oh oh do not worry. I do have something in mind!

Just. The getting-my-act-togetherness ... not as much. I have been very pointlessly frazzled. But I am getting better!

A nine-minute mile is pathetic? O_o;; I can swim a mile infinitely more easily than I can run a mile, and with much less wheezing and coughing and general feelings of death. To get a nine-minute mile out of me on land, you'd have to attach rocket boosters to my legs, and it would almost certainly end in a predictable Wile E. Coyote fashion.

In other news, I had some homemade vanilla ice cream the other day that had Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix blended into it, and it was delicious in a way I can't even begin to describe. So now I want ice cream.

lfksjdflj that sounds amazing *____*

also, glad to know this mile doesn't suck! one of my sister's friends runs a FIVE MINUTE MILE.

[e_mily]

Yeah but that's like, people who do it for competition, really. A five minute mile is a good time for gals who run the mile in track back in high school. That's what I remember. The boys were always trying to push themselves to four minutes.

I remember one specific time from a 400 (which is 1/4 of a mile, appx) sprint of our guy back in high school. 56 seconds. And that was a pretty good time.

If you extrapolate... five minutes is crazy. That's slightly-less-than-sprinting the whole way.

Joining the chorus to say: dude, I would fake illness to get out of running the mile in high school. THAT'S HOW PATHETIC I AM. *helpful*
