Met Brandon in the alleyway by my house, did about 6.5 with him and turned around for 11 total (7:38 average). Planned on 7-8, but I could have gone longer than I did. I felt fantastic and I really needed the run/company after doing job market materials this morning. I think I will write a cultural history of running instead, but I need Jake or a Sasha to fill in the tremendous historical gaps in my knoweldge.

My weight is all over the place. I ate a ridicuous amount of food yesterday, but I felt a bit faint on my shakeout run yesterday.

You'll have to be sure to send me a copy of that cultural history. Sounds interesting!

Hopefully you didn't feel faint today, too. My weight's the opposite of consistent lately, too. I took one day off and ate out about 4 meals in a row.. I leave it at that.

There are two periods in running history:

BC - Before Color (runs)

AD - After Downhill

You'll want to focus your thesis on one of those historical blocks. It would be too much to write a comprehensive cultural history of both.

Weight varies a good bit for runners, Matt. I think I got most of the weekend excess, ah, straightened out. Too much?

I had a good laugh about your comment before bed, Jake. I'd do something local, like the Utah scene but I think that book already exist in a corner of Sasha's brain.
