• Well, tuesday I swam 1km. That is a pathetically short distance, fyi. Barely more than a warmup from high school. But I only had 25ish minutes, so there you go. (dinner at Nick’s)
• Saturday, I made it late to front runners, and decided to go for low speed distance. 6.5ish miles in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Long distance (for me, perhaps the longest I’ve run in my life at one go) and definitely low speed. By the end I was feeling it more in my knees than my calves, but I was definitely done.
• Today, I ran ~2.5 miles in under 25 minutes. Still not fast, and not very long either. Sad. Faster than most of the people on the indoor track though, which leaves me somewhat unimpressed.
• And a fair amount of biking as transportation in there too.

Sunday was board games

I hear you have questions. I may have answers, let us see if we can make some sort of arrangement. =)

Sucktacular. Sore throat. Vaguely post-nasal-drip-ish. Definitely no fever. I think this means I have no good excuse for not running. Which is a good thing, actually.

This American Life and the Savage Lovecast are entertaining, but if I’m going to fuel my running habit with podcasts, I need something more than 1.5-2 hours / week.

I’ve tried the weekly geek, which wasn’t bad. Many have recommended feast of fools, but that’s kinda enh. If I could get the TED talks on my cowon, that’d be pretty awesome. Independent radio oklahoma did introduce me to some neat songs and bands that I doubt I would have found otherwise, but the signal to noise ratio kinda blows.

Something science and/or tech oriented seems like a decent addition. A straight up news podcast might be good too.

Watch the oral arguments before CA’s supreme court re: same sex marriage.

I found it very interesting. Maybe being a lawyer could be fun. Heh.

• Paladin now level 28
• Ran 4.75ish miles, 45ish minutes, 9 minute pace for 38ish minutes, 8 minute pace for 3, cooldown pace (4.0 avg) for 3 min.
• Cooked a large batch of barley, lentil, mushroom soup for lunch for the week and a berry crisp dessert for the dinner tomorrow evening.
• made myself an egg beater and facon sandwich. tasty.
• Did most of the dishes
• did some grocery shopping
• have not fixed the sleep dep. Le sigh.

Today was the memorial service for my little sister’s stillborn daughter, Penelope.

That’s the first time I’ve cried in public in many years. The last time that comes to mind was during undergrad. And that was far less public.

40 minutes slow running today, with hills, mud, rain, and hail (precipitation started on the way back from the run).

36 minutes, 4.05 miles, variable speed thursday evening. I got at fast as 7.5 mph for about 15 minutes of it. If I were ambitious, I might go for an 8 minute mile on the 10 miler.
