What I Believe
Often people will ask you what you believe in. They’re of course, asking what religion you ascribe to. This has always been a problem for me. It’s not because I don’t know. It’s because most of the people that ask that question believe in something themselves and are hoping that you agree.
The problem is that I generally don’t. I’m not a Christian. I’m...
Failed Projects
I keep having these ideas for projects that I want to do. And I keep having projects that I never finish. I’ve always been this way. I do something and it doesn’t work out, or nothing comes of it soon enough to my liking, I just dump it temporarily—which tends to be fatal. I don’t give things a chance. I’m trying to work on that.
My goal for this year is to have a...

Running Calculations
So today I really blew it. I had somehow confused current pace with interval pace in RunKeeper and so I thought I was running better than I was. Technically I was, but I thought I could slack and it wouldn’t be a problem. Nope.
See, every time I’ve ever run distance, I always calculate things in my head. How long have I run? What’s my average pace? How far am I along? So...

Almost
Almost broke the 9:00/mile barrier. I did it in 9:07 today. That’s a bit strange because runkeeper stopped me just after 14 minutes—there’s a 5 min warm-up. In either case, I could have broken it with just a little more effort. I keep forgetting that I have the warnings set up every two minutes, so everytime I think I’m breaking 8:00 when I’m breaking 9:00 because of the...

Running
I got up this morning a little bit early (for me) and went on a run. By the time I got out the door it was 11:40. The last time I ran it my goal was to finally beat a 10 minute pace. I’ve only been running single miles while trying to improve my time because it’s just not within me to run distance. I’ve never been good at it, and quite frankly I find it boring and just an overall...
New Blag
Sometimes I need more space than tweets allow to get things out there, and well, I figured it was time to restart the old blag. I’m still trying to find a suitable domain name, as my others don’t really fit this idea. Someone is currently squatting on my name as a dot com (a practice I utterly abhor). It pisses me off even more that I could have beat them to it instead of buying...
