Still running, doing it later

I'm still running. Sometimes I have days where I can't wake up to exercise in the morning. Today I actually got up but was too tired to do anything. So I spend the whole day feeling bad because I didn't exercise. Only I ran at the end of the day. I did hills again. I was trying to figure out how fast I went because I ran 7 blocks and walked 1 three times in a row and then (and this is where I get confused) I ran 4 blocks for a total of 3.5 miles. Running and walking together is 12:10, but I cant figure out how fast I ran without the walking. I got distrcted because Michael Phelps just won another gold medal and then the women started doing their gymnastics routine.

Here's some things to look at while you're enjoying the Americans rock in the Olympics.

• This is mostly for Kelly since she will likely own a house soon, Ikea will start selling solar panels.


• 30 books you should read before you turn... Hmmm, well I thought Amanda would like the list because she likes to read. I don't think it's a firm deadline. From the list I've already read eight and part of another one. I was supposed to read it for English in tenth grade (Lord of the Flies) but I just faked it. I hated English class.


• Effects of race on mixed race children. I dated a guy who was not white and we did talk about having kids. It was always hard for me to think about it because I felt like any kids would identify more with their non-white race than mine. I felt like I would feel left out.


• Are you one of my friends who lives in a suburb? What will the 'burbs look like in 40 years?


• For me, because I run (and the rest of you should too) because Runners live longer, even when they stop running and do other exercises and the perpetual question, Will women even run as fast as men? I kind of knew the answer already, but I didn't know the background information.


• And for all of us, because no matter who we are, we can all identify with this.
