finally the breaks

I have achieved my ridiculous, is this actually possible fitness goal. Not only can I run a mile fast enough to pass middle school gym, I can even sometimes squeak underneath the ten minute mark. But more importantly, I can now run ten miles. Ten long, weird miles. The first three are always, always miserable somehow. But once about three miles/thirty minutes goes by it gets easier. It feels like going downhill, even though I am on a machine.

I bought myself new running shoes. They are purple. Also a hoodie, which is tangentially related in its color choices to my latest fandom obsession so it feels like a delightfully subtle thing.

My lawyer called me last night. There is a good chance that things will be over in a week. A really good chance. I'm so excited. Of course I immediately panicked upon being excited because of course wanting something too much means it won't happen. Riiight. Anyway. I want it over. Over over over.

Tomorrow I'm having Lasik. Hopefully I won't go blind. I will enjoy my vanity as much as I can, since I keep finding new grey hairs every day.

I read an astonishingly heart rending piece of Inception fanfic yesterday. It's one of those AU things that segues into the story so perfectly it surprises you that this isn't the canon.
nobody knew me at home anymore

Well done!

I decided a while back that I wanted to be able to run a 5K and worked up to it. (I haven't done it for a while so I'd probably have to start over.) And I also found the beginning harder and did get to the point where I didn't hate everything by the time I got to the 5K mark. So I probably could have extended it but never did; I don't really want to run for more than half an hour.

I may start again now that it's getting cooler; being able to run a 5K is still a good fitness marker and I could use to work on endurance again.

YOU ARE MADE OF AWESOME AND MANTIS SHRIMP.

I've been slacking off lately, myself. Trainer got another job and between shows and getting ready for shows I haven't been doing much.

I'm in awe. Congratulations! That's freakin' impressive.

Good luck on the Lasik. *crosses fingers*

Well done, or as we say in Scotland, gon yersel!

I literally cannot imagine running ten miles.
