Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was, Perkins, but the next season starts next week.

Watching 24. I hate how long it'll be before I can go back and read the comments here.

However, 8 minutes in, my thought patterns went a bit like--yay! it's back! guest starring Haysbert? Why only...whubbuh? Waaaah! Oh, yay, it's back! ::weeps::.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The freaky-looking but useful muscle map says I have pulled the sartorius, a thing I didn't know I had. Cool.

I'll have to chime in late on the GA discussion, since by the time the West Coasters have seen it, I'll be asleep. Bedtime starts... now.

I went to that site and it wanted to know if I under- or over-pronated, and I've only ever heard of just plain pronation, so I'm confused...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

meara, over-pronation means your arches are most likely flat, and you roll too far inwards when your foot strikes the ground. Underpronation or supination means that your arches are high and don't collapse properly, making you run on the outside of your feet. I hella supinate, and therefore need cushioned shoes to compensate for my arch not absorbing the shock.

I haven't run in quite a few months, but I've been yoga-ing and weightlifting. Maybe I'll run tomorrow. Toward the Embarcadero, which is fairly flat. Flatter than most of my nabe, anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My pronation is wrong, but I forgot how. (eta: From Juliana's post, it sounds like I'm over pronated.)

I wish I could jog. I wonder if I can see a specialist who could ascertain if my old knee and ankle injuries would allow jogging. (For the knee injury I was told that jogging was something I couldn't do, but that was 14 years ago. When I broke my ankle I was told that I "probably" couldn't jog anymore.)

Juliana, how are you liking your new digs? There's great running down the peninsula, lots of good trails and some minor hillwork. Excellent marathon training.

Ah hah! OK, that makes sense then. I knew the mechanics of it, but not the words for it. Because I definitely roll my feet out (supinate, apparently...).

Jesse, on GA I loved the kid's reaction.. "you mean, I might be... a boy?" it was like the sun rose.

They told me something strange like I had flexible feet. Which is mostly that I pronate and supinate and just stand like crap. I have no idea what he meant, but the shoes rock.

Why aren't I hungry yet?

Because we forgot to tempt you with the list from LA Time on where to get goat?
