My best friend came over to run with me today, and it was so great because

a) it’s actually really fun to run with someone, I’ve gone to the gym with a buddy but I haven’t *ran* with someone in what we figured was six years, since he was the only person I ever ran with back home. 

b) he has a REAL smartphone, not an iPod that likes to pretend, and an ap that can track you as you run and tell you your pace, and since today’s c25k run was 10 min run, 3 walk, 10 run, he turned it on for the last 10, and our average pace was 8:21 for a mile! Which is not an outstanding time in general but for me!! It’s great!! (And we were a little faster on the first leg I think, but he didn’t think to turn the app on.) I’ve been a little worried this whole time I’ve been going slower than the program’s assumption of 10 minute miles. And even if I pushed a little more because he was there (which let’s be real, I didn’t do it consciously but I did definitely do it) I’m still definitely going a little faster. And that feels so good! (8 minute miles are generally my in-good-shape pace, the summer in highschool I ran every day that was where I got to, and when I was consistent about the gym in college I would hit that pace on the treadmill. Also I have never in my life managed to hit 7:30 or lower)

I’M SO TIRED

Splitting the shift for the meeting in the morning made today SO LONG (basically, I had a five hour lunch break). And also this job is much more physical/mental/emotional work. 

BUT I LOVE IT A LOT. I LOVE DOING THINGS. I BOUGHT MOUNTAIN DEW FOR THE AUTHOR WE HAD IN TODAY I AM A PROFESSIONAL MOUNTAIN DEW BUYER.

BOTH MY COMPUTERS HATE ME RIGHT NOW so all fic is delayed for a bit 😦

It took me almost an hour to get my old mac to be responsive this morning (probably could have done it faster if I’d restarted sooner, but ah well), but it seems to be working fine now so if that continues I can write on here hopefully.

I don’t know what is up with my hp, but yeah sure let’s have internet explorer be the only program that opens without crashing.

God, guys, I love my city so much

And it’s hit me tonight that I’m making it, I mean, my promotion doesn’t have me making huge amounts of money, but it’s enough. I don’t have to worry about having to leave. 

I was walking tonight, and this city is so, so beautiful at night. It’s the alternation between quiet and lively that gets me. The city is several worlds squeezed up against one another, and every few steps you’re somewhere new. I cried a little in the park tonight. The path from the street was dark, even with the lamps, the trees leaned in and the only thing in the quiet were a few couples kissing on the benches. But then this– the photo above. Around the fountain there was so much life and light and freedom. The whole city shines down Fifth Avenue. 

And it’s mine. I get to stay with it.
