Did a three-miler early on Sunday, not bad, pretty warm. I went out with JLB--its always cool to run with someone else, its something I'd like to do more of, he pointed out that as soon as I hit the flats I sped up, which I hadn't realized I was doing--I'm really pretty terrible about pacing most of the time, and its cool to have someone to keep pace with. The very end of the loop was an all-out sprint--and he beat me! Granted he's got longer legs (unlike me, he is actually built like the classical idea of a runner) but this spring (when he wasn't running at all regularly) I used to beat him to the 'finish' on a regular basis. I just love being able to measure improvement like that. Although its not my improvement, but what the hell, right?
So I haven't been all that politically active lately--just sort of moseying about doing my own thing, not driving much and watching even less TV, but I stumbled across this from Code Pink and was sort of musing about it, and then I went to Solarfest this weekend and listened to all sorts of people who were passionate about change and I'm thinking that I could probably do a juice fast, at the very least, and if not then I need to come up with something because I do believe in "be[ing] the change you want to see in the world". And lately I don't think I really have been doing what I could.
