Born To Run (well, not exactly)

I put up a bunch more picture edits late Monday night and forgot to mention it. So yeah, they're there!

So I somehow decided several years ago that I really, really hate running. I think it was mainly because I sucked at it, and also because I was faaaat. A while before that, though, I used to like running. I'd go running at midnight around campus when I felt restless at night, and it was actually, y'know, fun. After finding out about that Challenge Mile Race, I decided to strap on my running shoes yesterday after work, and give it a go.

The last time I tried running, which was probably 2 or 3 years ago--definitely before I came to wushu--I ran for maybe 5 minutes, and then had to stop and walk the rest. Everything hurt, especially my lungs, and I regretted it for days afterwards.

Yesterday? I ran 3.5 miles without stopping. Maybe there's hope for me yet. :)

Now, it's a link bonanza, because people on Teh Internets have too much time on their hands!

--Programmer and tech types need to hear this one: Code Monkey!

Tonight = working late, then wushu, then photoshoot. My eyes hurt and my brain's kind of dead. That's all!
