tomorrow evening i am going swimming. i am determined to make this happen! it's not like it's difficult - put on swimsuit, get in swimming pool, swim. boom. done.

i have been swimming 6 times so far this year, so 4 more and i will have 10. boom. done.

as for non-fiction reading, i am still a bit stuck. i've finished those 300 pages of cathy alter's up for renewal and i am on page 42 of the pleasure of finding things out by richard feynman, which has 250 pages. so, for those who can't count, this is 550 pages and, as i am aiming for 750, i have a ways to go... yes? i am determined to make this happen! it's not like it's difficult... okay, yes it is. i mean, i like mr feynman and all, but this isn't the sort of reading you can do with your brain off. i am on page 42 out of 250, so rounding a bit we get 210, so if i read 10 pages per day it will take me... a month? is that right? one mere measly month? oh man, merely a measly month. i need to do this thing.

what's left? 1000 miles running. well, i have 400 for the year, so... 600 remaining with 16 weeks to go. that's like 40 miles per week and i can tell you, that is not going to happen. now - before you go getting all disappointed, let me just say that i am working on something in the running department. it's not going to be 1000 miles this year, but it'll be something... you just wait and see.

in the meantime, gotta go do some reading!
