4.5 glorious miles today at lunch. But, in some ways, these weekly Tuesday-Thursday frolics are starting to feel a little too tame. I am feeling very ready to start working harder next week.
My main challenge will be trying to keep any weekly increases in mileage and intensity moderately reined in until late summer/early fall. Remembering how the New York Dolls famously (and accurately) summarized their own career in an album title, “Too Much, Too Soon” … it’s a 70′s glam-rock warning, but no less timely for that. And yes, I know they recently reformed, but with only three of the original members — which makes them, in a slightly less extreme way, the Lynyrd Skynyrd of early NYC punk.
But I digress; my mind is a landfill of the unnecessary. Speaking of which, Twitter is all about staying aware, right? After all, their slogan is “What are you doing?” But isn’t nurturing awareness through meditation and running a sort of non-invasive, organic version of Twitter? When we sit, run, or do anything else mindfully, aren’t we constantly asking ourselves, “What are you doing?”
So who needs Twitter, really?
