I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Generally, yes. I evaded 2 zombie hordes tonight. I am having issues with the app stalling out, which means I have to do bag management.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So, zombie runners - one version of the app is 3.99 and the other is 1.99. Is it really worth the 4 bucks? Right now I'm using MapMyRun just for tracking and listening to podcasts.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Is the 1.99 one the 5k? That one is only 8 weeks long, whereas the big one is...very big. I expect it to take me the rest of the year to catch up with the story.

I think that's it, yeah. Does the spendy one include the 5k to start? I am slow and have bad knees.

Also, is it possible to do this when running on city sidewalks? There isn't a track near my office so I normally just run to the UN and back, and there aren't a lot of places where I can sprint.

Trying miso broth. Feeling something like hunger. But I can't stay awake for more than an hour at a time.

It does not. The 5k training app does not require sprinting, though it does include skipping and other exercises which you may or may not be willing to do on the street. And you can do the main game without the zombie chases, which might be best to avoid getting eaten while you wait for a light to change. If you do do the chases, it's about 1 minute of speeding up each time, so maybe you can fit that in? I don't know from city running.

Good luck with the broth, sarameg.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You only have to speed up 20%. I think the real trick is to know how much faster that is, and set a base pace that you can maintain for 30/60 min and also increase by 20%.

I waited for a big sale, but I'm a poor grad student. I think the two of them would be totally worth ten bucks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tonight was the very last pub quiz at Last Exit Bar. My team—Hubert Selby Jr Is Dead—won first place!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats Tom on the win, and sorry about the loss of your favorite bar.
