I ran again this morning and lo! It does get easier! I was able to run through some distince leg stiffness and stretch the muscles out. They're a bit twingey now, but the brisk walk to the train station an hour after warming down helped a lot.
I went the same route as Sunday, up Hobson and back down Thorndon Quay and I ran an awful lot of the way. Most of Hobson, all round the lawn at the blind gardens and half the pedestrian access to TQ. The second half of Thorndon Quay was mostly walking, but I climbed the stairs to get back to my apartment so I felt pretty good about myself.
Mostly I notice I don't necessarily have more energy but I don't feel tired all the time. This is a good thing.
After a couple of days break from my course readings, I've got a book I needed from fishpond, so it's right back in it. Those turning up to movie night are going to help me out on one of my tasks. Should be fun.
Last night I ran the second episode (although third session including character creation/prologue) of my Alaizabel Cray game. I worry that I am giving too many clues and then I worry that there aren't enough clues. I need to open some avenues for Svend's cop to pursue, which should be easy enough once I've nutted some more things out. I actually need to give myself some time to work on this game and sort the story out because I worry that although last night was fun and I managed to throw the PCs a curve ball or two the story isn't really happening.
Today I am all pinksey. My floofy purpley fuchsia skirt, bubblegum super stripes and pink hoody. I'm wearing white under the hoodie, but I don't know how warm I'm gonna get.
I've read three books of Outsiders which is a pretty typical superhero team-up comic which happens to include Nightwing. I really enjoyed them actually, they introduced some neat characters and the jokes were very good. It's a bit more edgy than an ordinary DC title, which is nice. I want the next one, but the library only has the ones I've read.
Marvel have been putting out 'manga' sized comics, in the nice small format. I've just found one on our shelf called Sentinal which is essentially a mecha manga about a kid in America finding an old mutant-hunting Sentinal, and converting it. Looks like fun, I think.
PoF: pinksey
CO: I am not looking forward to my lunch salad. I resent my lunch salad, I want it to be nicer.
