What Are You Doing Right Now

My great aunt just passed away. She was quite old, and had a good life. This is the last of her generation that I was close to on that side of the family. She was the youngest of my grandmother's siblings. My grandmother went over a decade ago. My grandfather's side likely has people still around, he had tons of siblings, but we are estranged from them so I don't know who they are.

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad she lived her life to the fullest. People like that inspire me to be more present.

I can hear a church bell. Funny how quickly you notice the absence of that while being in an Islamic country and hearing the call to prayer instead. We've been back in the Christian world for only a few hours.

Taken yesterday right at the Albania / Kosovo border on the A1 (not while moving.) This is frmo a little cafe on the road side.

My condolences.

I don't know if I hate this state website or Silverlight right now. Ugh

Counting down the minutes until quitting time and going over packing lists in my head in preparation for Ragnar in Richmond this weekend.

Have fun. You and @MattSpeller are way more active than I am. Then again I'm slowly de-evolving into a chicken mcnugget.

I dunno, I think I just practice a lot of poor judgement. I acquired a micro-tear in my left calf during the first week of March and have been slowly nursing that back to health. I wasn't able to run more than 2 miles until earlier this week. I should be good to do 25k right? Ignoring reason hasn't failed me before. Or at the very least it hasn't killed me yet.

Plus I have a can of Heady Topper waiting for me at camp.

Fully realize the scope of my pudginess. I tried to run the other day. I got to 3 mins 41 seconds until I had to stop. I'm basically dead already.

There's a trick to getting good at running. Run. Then run again. I didn't really make it a habit until I started doing it with a local group. Group runs are so much more enjoyable. I hate running alone. Anything more than 4 miles alone is torture.

Also this free app is pretty nifty: http://www.smashrun.com

And running from zombies while gathering supplies and fortifying your camp is kinda cool too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sixtostart.zombies5k&hl=en
