100th post!

I don't know if it's something to celebrate, or means that I have way too much skill at procrastinating, but this is my 100th post. This is probably the first non-facebook internet tool I haven't abandoned after a few uses (GoodReads, Flickr, my old blog, LiveJournal), which either means I'm truly narcissistic or this is a healthy outlet (let's pretend it's the latter). I also apologize to those of you who signed up for an RSS feed thinking you'd get lots of good tidbits and ended up with Emma's Journal Wherein She Mainly Complains.

Speaking of sticking to things, I've completed Week 1 of Couch to 5k, and I'm feeling great! Actually, I'm feeling a little sore, because I managed to get myself so utterly lost today that my 3 mile route magically became about 8, no joke. I was so confused and turned around, and since I don't wear my glasses when I run (they get all sweaty and slip off my nose), I would have to get right up to a sign before I could see what street it was. I finally asked a jogger for directions, which he gave me, at which point I realized he was blind - making me feel like even more of an idiot for getting lost in my own town.

That right there is why I run on a treadmill.

Clearly, you need Rec Specs and a GPS unit.

I agree with Harrison. You need to be completely decked out in high tech gear. You can have a belt or armband which can have clipped to it your ipod, GPS, pedometer, stopwatch, water bottle, what have you. Very professional!
