kowtow

So... getting in shape is tough work. But I am doing it and I have done something that I have never done before. Namely, I have quit making excuses and hauled my ass out of bed to go and run. Now, my knees are fucking killing me and I am going to have to try and find a way to be a better, more efficient stretcher but it's a start.

Already I can feel a difference in the load I am carrying around. I also noticed that my watches have to be tightened up a little bit. So there is progress and that is cool.

I saw an amazing movie this week. Traitor, with Guy Pearce and Don Cheadle. I would watch Don Cheadle play a paperbag, I really would, I just think he is so special as an actor. I absolutely love him. Guy Pearce is also pretty great and outside of Ravenous he has had a pretty good career. It is a pretty heavy movie shows a lot of the beauty and the dark shadow of the Islamic faith. I am not a religious person so I appreciate something that shows both sides of things. I would also classify this in the run, don't walk group of movies.

Today is sort of rainy and blah in Providence and I am thinking I might go out for a walk and stretch my legs a little bit.

This month I ran 29.5 miles. (I only started logging them in the last two weeks, so it might be more.)
