I run, therefore I am…919 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
We were sitting around talking about units of measurement and converting kilometres to miles and so on. Then the conversation somehow digressed to how they used to use the length of body parts (usually a king’s) as a standard of length. For example, an inch was the length of a thumb, and so [...]
The Excuse Amnesty Run. A nice little flick to which I was invited by Karen Cooksley in a virtual way. A total disaster. OK, so I did not run yesterday because I had to work some weird hours. So I ran today. I really did not want to run today [...]
