A 5K would totally be easy! ...if I were walking it.
So far my attempts to do Couch-to-5K have been less than successful, stalling due to shin splints and the unreasonable demand of the program that I manage to run five whole minutes at a time.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

I walk at least 10K a day, meara, so I totally understand!
It's going to be cold and rainy tomorrow, so at least I don't have to worry about heatstroke.
And on that note, I need to go to bed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And P-C, if you're around, I met Mira Grant and got Feed signed (because the guy giving out the next one said I needed to read Feed first), and said, "My friend [P-C] has said incredible things about this book," and she beamed, and said, "YOU KNOW [P-C}?! Awesome!"
Aw, awesome! I didn't realize you were both at the same thingy! I hope you like the book!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am sad that we've said goodbye to Spirit. What a good little rover.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I skipped to the end recklessly to say Buffistas are awesome, as usual, and I saw FOUR of them today, which was pretty cool.
I had dinner with Brenda! And what we lacked in numbers (being only 2 and not 5), we made up for in sheer AWESOME. And dog talk.

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

Me too. What an amazing journey! Sad it's over.
5K
Someone please explain this undoubtedly obvious thing to me. It doesn't mean 5 thousand miles... what's the "K"?

Kilometers, Zenkitty--it's a little over 3 miles.

Kilometers. For some reason footraces are in increments of 5K (3 miles), 10K (6 miles), half-marathons (13 miles), and marathons (26 miles).
Unless it's on a track, in which case it's the 100m, 200m, 1,000m, 1500m, 5,000m, and so forth.
No, it doesn't make much sense.

Oh, of course it is! Thanks!
I might be able to walk 3 miles. I looked at Couch-to-5k but it seems so complicated...
