RU-1

I want to jot down an update of this year's resolutions at the end of each week. Seeing how badly I'm doing will probably shame me into keeping up. At least, that's the hope.

- Running: I've run twice since Jan 1st. Both times at the speed of 6 mph. The first time I could run for 10 minutes. The second time 13 minutes. My usual pace is 5 mph, at which speed I can run 15 to 20 minutes. I want to be able to run at least half an hour at the speed of 6 mph. Then I want to increase the speed to 7.5 mph, and learn to maintain that as the pace at which I would run for any length of time.

- Weight: Has gone up to 199 lbs again. Have been cooking really good food recently, and obviously have been eating much more than 2 runs in the last 10 days can do anything about.

- Book: Didn't touch it

- Textbook: Ditto

- Blog: Have 3 posts sitting in draft. One on atheism. One on environmentalism. One on the journey series. I envisioned the journey series to be in 3 parts. Got the outline for all 3 and started fleshing out the first one. I'm halfway through just the first part - and it's already around 1800 words long. I'm clearly living up to the tag line of this blog. It might be a good idea to get the post on atheism finished first instead.

- Comments: Not much of an increase, but started being a little more active on scienceblogs, where I have always spent the largest chunk of my lurking time. Will start commenting at the other regular haunts over time.
