Life's little achievements I finally broke my (mainly mental) 5km barrier on my run on Monday. Yay! 5.8km in just over half an hour. If my plan works, I should be up to 10 km in about 6 or 7 weeks. Any small achievements of your own you'd like to share?

I updated my resume.

I made it through a high level Pilates apparatus class today without stopping, I can't feel my arms right now, but I am feeling pretty darned proud of myself right now.

getting better at doing long-sustained mental effort despite stress, fatigue, lack of sleep etc. Learning a lot about how to manage one's mind in the process

I found a bunch of articles from a pile of references sent to us by some admin assistant that my boss gave up on locating. (Although I completely failed at finding the court cases and will give those another shot after lunch before declaring them NFG.)

Ten pounds gone, y'all. TEN POUNDS. It is not enough but it is a start.

I spent $358. It included bike repairs, 18 months of gym membership, 8 gigs of flash memory, and a haircut.

Hooray!

Um, someone bought me a drink recently cause he was impressed with my spoken French?

I have not had any alcohol or soda for 10 days. The soda is probably permanent; the alcohol is part of the pursuit of body perfection.
