Okay now I am tired.

This morning, I rowed a half-marathon. On a rowing machine. That's 13.1 miles, or 21,097 meters, all without going anywhere. Last September, I did a full marathon in 3:32, so my goal was to go faster than 1:46 for the half, and I did just that--I finished in 1:34:12.4. I'm feeling pretty good about that at the moment, although maybe I'm just giddy because I'm tired. Whew. I'm training for another full marathon on September 23, and my goal is to beat last year's time. From the looks of it, I might be able to do so. I think I'l be doing a 30,000-meter piece next week, but I won't be doing it at such an intense pace.

Confusion in my head.

Right now, David Sedaris is on This American Life, the program run by Ira Glass. For some reason, the two of them routinely get confused in my head, so it's weird to listen to both of them.

Sedaris moved to Paris two years ago, and is taking Ira around the city to the places he frequents. It's quite amusing, of course. It's Sedaris, after all.
