I dunno, not vengeance, not validation&#8230; I guess just nice to prove it to everyone I was not a lost cause physically.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t have to be the fat daughter or the fat girlfriend or the fat boss or the fat friend.\u00a0 A lot to read into a literally 2 minute conversation, I guess.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Everything is ok\" src=\"http:\/\/imgs.xkcd.com\/comics\/the_end_is_not_for_a_while.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"200\" \/>4.\u00a0 I finally read through all the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xkcd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">xkcd<\/a> archives.\u00a0 Existentialism and math geekery at it&#8217;s finest.\u00a0 I just want more!<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 I did my first &#8220;official&#8221; timed 5k on the treadmill yesterday.\u00a0 Official, meaning I was running for the distance as fast as I could.\u00a0 I did 3.1 miles in 32:20.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not great, but it&#8217;s a start.\u00a0 My goal is under 30 mins.\u00a0 Since I never run on the pavement, I think I&#8217;d be happy with 35 mins in a for real race.\u00a0 I&#8217;d say I&#8217;d train on it so I could get better, but it just HURTS me bad the next day.\u00a0 Since I already have legacy gymnastic ankle injuries, I sort of consider myself lucky to be able to run and don&#8217;t want to press my luck.\u00a0 Maybe when I have a bit less to lug around?\u00a0 Until then, I love me the treadmill!<\/p>\n<div data-counters='1' data-style='square' data-size='regular' data-url='http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/10\/5-random-things-2\/' data-title='5 Random Things' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_3'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div data-position='' data-url='http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/10\/5-random-things-2\/' data-title='5 Random Things' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_7'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/10\/5-random-things-2\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"standard\" show-faces='false' width=\"225px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the lack of updates this week, it&#8217;s time for the contiguously challenged post topic of 5 Random Things! 1.\u00a0 My parental units (hehe) are in town and staying with me, waiting to close on their house.\u00a0 Friday&#8217;s the day, and then their stuff gets here 0-10 days after.\u00a0 Our friend T mentioned [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paUhDu-1J","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions\/117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
