What I accomplished over the weekend

[T-Stew]

@Ranshiin Well cleaning is one of those things that just needs done. I hate doing it, but I hate when its messy even more. I'd take a whole day of back breaking logging as opposed to 1hr of cleaning, but you got to take the good with the bad. I spent nearly all day sunday cleaning too. Usually I like to keep things neat and 'clean as I go' but some rooms like the basement gets neglected for a long time and stuff piles up. I spent most of the day just organizing and cleaning in the basement.

Haha.. Actually it was only 5k run, there's a 10k too...
And yes, it's not really a marathon... I just want to call it that... Feels like one too...
As I am into sprint running rather that long distance running... [/COLOR]

Oh I got ya now. Awesome. And for the rest of you runners @PinkGalaxies @Thefringedninja I did a 5k on saturday myself actually... probably my last race of the year, not sure. Its the only local race where I live, my small town puts on a fair called the Old Time Farming Festival. Its actually really neat, well at least if you like antique tractors and old fashioned stuff.

It was the 3rd time I ran this race but the first time doing it barefoot. Actually when I ran it last year it was my last shod race, so this is a good comparison to see what my barefoot training has done this year. Although I have mainly been training for longer slower runs, not short fast ones. Last year was 22:58 which was my fastest ever 5k after getting back into running. Its a pretty small race, usually just 2-3 dozen and half of that is the local schools crosscountry team. Well this year they had a meet and were not present. I actually thought I had a chance of winning it, and I would have if they guy tailing me the whole way wouldnt have passed me right at the end! 2nd place and 20:05! Thats getting back into my highschool crosscountry times... never thought I'd be that fast again.




A gal I know that does barefoot running too (I ran the Columbus 1/2 marathon with her, we were the only two barefooters lol) next weekend she'll be running the NorthCoast 24 hour endurance run (http://www.northcoast24.org/) now thats some crazy stuff there. The winners are usually 150+ miles wowza. The cool thing is you just run as much as you want to, you can stop anytime. Its scored on how many miles you get in 24hrs. I can't imagine running 150 miles or for 24 hours straight! But sounds like fun so maybe someday! Hannah you rock, good luck next weekend!

"What I accomplished over the weekend"


... I downloaded a few games on Steam, I pre-loaded Borderlands 2, I got drunk. I FINALLY got some blu-tack to tack up my Borderlands 2 and Driver:SF posters onto my door. I got drunk again whilst playing Worms: Armageddon.

I suppose my one ACTUAL accomplishment was that yesterday morning, I tidied up my apartment. I mean properly tidied up, not the man's 'oh, I'll just stack everything in the corner and call it done' tidied. I went through my cupboard and removed all the cardboard boxes of things I'd bought that I figure I won't need, such as the relevant items being too old to be taken back for refunds, and I went and took them all out to the recycling bins at the back-side of my apartment block and put them all in the cardboard recycling bin.

I vacuumed my hallway, and put all my socks into neat little bundles in my wardrobe (normally I just leave them all in a wash-basket once washed so it's easy for me to just pick two matching socks out and put them on). I got rid of all the socks that have overly large holes in the soles. I moved the plastic crate of old video games out from the corner of my room into the cupboard, where the cardboard boxes had once been. I found my DSi XL's charger, and the box for Bowser's Inside Story (no game, though..) in the process.


Now I suppose most people will call that laziness, but I do tend to just stack things in corners and call it done. Yay me. ¬_¬

That's not just a man's thing...I do that all the time :P
Actually, I just tend to put things at the foot of my bed and think "I'll deal with it later!". Then later comes around and I say to myself, "I'm too tired" and thus the cycle continues....
