running log

[arguchik]

ran 2.5 today (same as monday). kept it low and slow, working on the posture and stride stuff from the chi running book i wrote about awhile back. it's brrrr cold out today, overcast but dry. my favorite running weather, actually. anyway, that makes 5 for the week so far. planning to run another 5 (2 x 2.5) between now and saturday. next week i expect to run 5 x 2.5 unless something alarming and untoward happens.

p.s. i have decided to adopt the mongoose as my running mascot. isn't she cute? yeah, but don't be fooled. she's probably stalking a cobra that you didn't even know was there. :-)

Totally cute. Mongooses ... mongeese? ... always remind me of Riki-Tiki-Tavi.

dictionary.com says "mongooses" is the plural. the OED online says "mongooses" is the "usual modern plural form," but also lists the variants "mongeese," and even just "mongoose" (they also list "mongooze," of all things).

perhaps now is a good time to point out how much i love the programmer who made it possible to log in to UW restricted library resources with your UW netid rather than having to use that whole proxy server thing, which i never did get around to setting up on my computer. it's so much easier now!
