Yeah I know running isn't the best, especially if you have joint issues. It's convenient for me since it's basically free and I live in a good neighborhood for it. I never beat myself up too much about time because what really mattered was that I was going out and exercising, but a big way to motivate myself has always been statistics. Being able to say "oh I've shaved three minutes off my mile time" is really rewarding for me, whether it's going from 11 minutes to 8 minutes or 20 minutes to 17 minutes. It's nice to see progress.

Endurance is also a big thing too. When I first started I could barely run, I had to stop and walk a lot. I still do but it's way less, and if anything I try to just slow down my pace to recover rather than stop and walk. When I was going regularly I was able to do nearly a half a mile without stopping or slowing down, it's my goal to get that to a full mile.

I joined the track team back in middle school but I felt they pushed me way, way too much -- it was good for people who'd been running for years but I wasn't one of those people and it was incredibly challenging, I was in pain and quit because I could barely move my legs. Obviously you've got to push yourself and endure some pain to get better, but it seriously turned me off from exercising in general for years. When I started again it was in part to ward off depression but I also felt it'd be better to try to go at my own pace, push myself but at a speed where I wouldn't get too burnt out.

 

Where can I sign up?

 

So I got a steam account. What exactly do I do?

 

My bank account consists of a paper clip and a gum wrapper :(

 

Then look up Free To Play or Early Access games. I am not ashamed to admit that my bank account looks the same and 80% of the games I've got on Steam are free :)
And a few of them are pretty good

 

Do you know if Gunscape is any good?

 

Play TF2

 

I haven't played it. But I've heard its pretty fun

 

I actually started downloading it but it's reeeeeeeally slow.

 

Been playing it for YEARS and I still love it.

 

Re: Steam

A lot of my games were gifted because i am poor and i know too many nice people. Someone gifted me Hatofuls awhile back and...seriously, if anyone's curious I will stream it. Munin is also interesting.

I had a klutz moment at work that ended with me falling. Luckily no one was around to see it or I might have had to go to the walk-in clinic. I was walking on a palette carrying this big bundle of carrots and went to step down off the thing. I've done this hundreds of times before but this time my foot decided to land sideways instead of flat. My ankle does that awkward wobble thing and then I'm on the floor.

My ankle's not swollen or anything. So I don't think I did anything major to it. I think the most I did was bruise my right knee. What's a little more arthritis?

steve baxi, everyone

 

I was prepped to make fun of you, but an eight year wait is actually a fairly long time. Happy for you.

 

Yo, Alien: Isolation for $17.

 

Family of the year:

"Hey Ryan we are leaving at 2:45"

I finish my workout, take a quick shower, am fully dressed and walk outside. It just hits 2:45, so I check the garage wondering why I don't hear the car running annnnnd they fecking left without me. It's a good thing I didn't plan out my entire day around this or anything. No worries.

 

last night
"hey below (because people irl call me below) we're going out of town this weekend"
"did we mention that? no? oh."

which is okay bc its not like i was pacing the work and applications i had to do over break to include the weekend or anything. nbd
