Good and happy news for the Fall Team Challenge
I got in 10,085 meters today and got in some much faster power-10s and power-20s and was able to bring down my pace down to a 1:50-2:02 pace. It’s not reflected in the log below but I am sure it’ll start manifesting in greatness, speed, and power down the road as I just get physically stronger, fitter, with bigger lungs and a stronger heart. I believe!

A fresh and simple arugula and walnut pesto recipe from my sisters at 1970 Dogwood Street
When Anne Haas and Jen Tucker post a recipe, I jot it down. I love pesto, though I don't think I've ever had an arugula and walnut variant.

Tuesday Fall Team Challenge Update
I didn't get as many meters as I wanted tonight primarily because of technical failures.

10 best and 10 worst places to raise a family in the Unites States of America

I ordered my next pair of running shoes Nike Zoom Fly SP
I have really enjoyed running in Nike Pegasus running shoes again. Nike intrigues me. I used to love the Pegasus shoe because it was perfectly balanced at cheap-but-good, always hovering around $80 new.
I just need to average 7,143 meters-per-day for 26-more-days
I didn't get started for a couple days--mea culpa--but I have pledged to row at least 2km after every article I write.

My giant peppermill
The audacity of putting a gianormous screw top pepper grinder on top of and included with my peppercorn refill changed my life and I'll never go back. No more peppermills for me, it's storming ground pepper baby. I'm calling her Florence!

I'm my own worst enemy
Every day is a series of successes, failures, excuses, being a weather wimp (which doesn't work because I have an erg), and blaming a launch sprint crunch. It's all bullshit.
Aragon Could Be the Future of Business Administration
At 3PM GMT on May 17th 2017, Luis Cuende & Jorge Izquierdo launched a token sale to raise money for their Ethereum-based blockchain technology that would disintermediate the processes associated with running a corporation using a framework known as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

Running: Sun, 2 Sep 2018 19:50:49
Day two of two in a row. Hopefully I can keep up a daily run of at least 2 miles a day. I'd prefer it to be 4/day but I didn't sleep well at all last night so I'm being gentle.
