The myth of Sisyphus

[dar_jeeling]

Um...people who are sick and tired of hearing about my exercise plans? You'll probably like to skip this.

I ran again today and I was finally, finally able to find that perfect pace I remember from the time when I had stamina. The one that makes you think you could keep going forever and ever without panting for breath. I mean, yes, it was starting to rain and getting dark, so I had more incentive than usual, but still.

Yay! I guess.

Anyway, motivation and optimism and I have tentative plans to buy new running shoes. The ones I have are old and I really don't wanna fuck up my joints.

Oh I am so jealous.
I can only run for as long as my shins don't collapse, which is not long enough to get me fit.
15 more essays and then Monday night and martial arts. My back will be in heaven.

Ohhh, martial arts? Interesting.
At least, you're finally finished with those essays. I just hope you won't have to mark another batch any time soon? Because sleep is a good thing.

Erm, I have seven late entrants to mark but I have a week to do it in (a few hours worth). The next bunch will be exam papers and that will be in June I think. I'll just speed sleep my way through the next few months.

Nothing like a spritzer of karate in the evening to make one fresh. Or, something like that. It just loosens out all the joints and muscles that get cramped from sitting around typing so much. Plus, the hitting things bonus.

I've only ever taken a few basic self-defence lessons, but god, I remember that hitting things was a lot of fun. ;)
