ok, this is lame, but it's still a thing. i like resetting the chronometer on my watch before i go out for a run. if i had a bad run yesterday, resetting it means that it doesn't matter, i can go have a good run today. if i had a good run yesterday, that doesn't matter anymore either: today's run is what counts now. whatever.

today was my first day at the track since i moved into my new place, and i did enjoy the fact that it's 10-15 minutes closer, not to mention being all downhill (on the way there). today's workout was great (10x800m):

1. 3:04
2. 3:03
3. 2:58*
4. 3:00
5. 3:03
6. 3:07
7. 3:09
8. 3:09
9. 3:10
10. 2:58*

Freeing up space on our highways increases the flow of traffic and saves commuters' time, money, and gasoline.

-- Wendell Cox

ok, i call bs on that. freeing up space on highways increases the number of other people who can now drive on highways, slowing down traffic, and wasting commuters' time, money, and gasoline.

despite these lies, it is difficult for me not to be excited about being able to vote on some sort of train initiative this fall. i mean, what's the worst that could happen?

i recommend checking out the rendered stills. but the ones of anaheim suffer my typical complaint about these things: why are those people in the park? i mean, i could understand it if there were awesome shipping containers there, but if it's like a certain other park i never saw any people in there's just some smelly river and nobody lives nearby.

also i wish we could build things out of something other than glass.
