Quick marathon walk training update.

Today, I did 7 miles and broke my land speed record. At 5 miles, I was cruising at 13.34...a full minute off my normal time. At the 7 mile mark, I was down to 13.07!!1!

And I feel great.

Woot!

Turning you back now to your regularly scheduled programming.

That is awesome Beej!

Excellent, Beej!

Skybus sounds quite promising. Unfortunately they fly nowhere near me.

I got 2 of my 8 (!!!) cavities filled this morning. I am sipping coffee through a straw so that I do not burn my half-numb mouth. I go back next Thursday to do 2-3 more. Yay?

I so sympathize with you, GC. I've never had eight discovered at once, but I did have four back in my college days. The dentist decided to fill them all at once, and since they were placed one in each quadrant of my jaws (upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left), he numbed up the entire mouth to take care of them. That was fun for a few hours afterward!

That's terrible! My dentist is going the quadrant route. Today was upper right. Next week is upper left. She said the uppers are easier than lowers, so there's that to look forward to.

So I just tried my first round of AdultSwim.com's Five Minutes to Kill Yourself. It's harder than you'd think.

Oh, GC. Sorry to hear about the dentist thing.

I have not been to the dentist in a very, very long time. I dread even thinking about it. I pretty much can't right now anyway, having no insurance and no money to pay for a dental visit myself. I'm pretty terrified of what a visit to the dentist would bring.

I died with 9.67 seconds to spare!

They better do well, Nora. The city gave 'em $60 million in tax breaks. When you coming to town?

Heh. As someone who is over the moon to be able to get to Columbus cheaply, I thank you and all your fellow tax-paying denizens. We're going out father's day weekend in June and also the weekend of Sept. 22. Bought the 4 tickets for like $185.
