    Currently I am managing a blistering 12mm over 5 miles. This is slow. I want to hit an even faster 10mm over 5 miles. I'm not old, I'm not fat, I'm not a beginner (11 years running).

    This chaps my Chapstick.

    http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_18046376 What a joke. You thought you lived in a free country? Nope. Freedom to assemble? Nope. Thought that you owned yourself? Ha! You have to beg permission of corrupt officials to use the property they maintain through stealing your money. This is flat...

    Ej's latest: barefoot running.

    Found at cavemandiaries.wordpress.com In the last post I talked about what technologies I have adopted and which ones I have rejected. My rejection of cars seem to be one of the big things that prompts utterances of words like “backward” and “Luddite”. It seems that...
