My Treadmill Sensor Is Back Online

And today I ran my fastest 5KM ever!

I’ve normally only been posting my 10KM runs, but last week the treadmill sensor was still down, so I just ran for 80 mins.

I’m pretty proud of this 5K, I have to say!

Our treadmill sensor was down, so I went back to logging my run on my watch only. On my watch I am fast like Sonic.

Getting Rid of Netflix

I’m getting rid of Netflix, so I’m trying to get through all of the content I want to watch by mid-March, when my subscription expires. I just watched #Cats __the__Mewvie and how did I NOTKNOW about Princess Cheeto?! The cat is adorable (all the cats are adorable honestly) but these photos are AMAZING, I’m obsessed. Princess Cheeto is art.

Finally, There’s a Social Network Without Any People

“According to the makers of the app, when you post, all the comments are made by bots trained on thousands of“real conversations.” For a dollar each, you can buy bots that will troll you or make dad jokes. It’s deeply refreshing in some ways. All the minutiae that I post about is treated like the most fascinating and mind blowing content to this army of bots. I love being popular.”

First Run of 35

I guess this is my running blog now? I don’t know but this is happening.

It was my birthday on Tuesday, so this is my first run as a 35-year-old. It’s not my regular day either, I had to bump it up by a day because I’m busy tomorrow.

So here we are, and I found this run IMPOSSIBLY difficult. I have been pushing my pace quite a lot, trying to improve my speed. As you can see I’m a full six minutes faster than last week. But as you can also see I had to stop twice (total run time) to get my breath and re-hydrate, so I was pushing the pace too hard, I think. I’ll need to start ramping my time up more slowly.

So yeah, that’s my 10K this week. And maybe I’ll find some things to post that aren’t about running soon.
