i am trying to start a habit.
i read that it takes 21 days to establish a habit.
as in, if a person does something for at least 15 minutes for 21 days straight, by the end of the 21 days it will seem strange to our complicated little minds to not do it.

so i am trying to make myself start running consistently again if my ankles and knees will have it.
since moving from mpls i haven't been keeping up with running very well [oh, how i miss the trails along the mississippi river].
it really helps to be moved into town where i have choices beyond:
1. run on the highway
2. run on croftville

i am on day three.
we will see how this goes.

it also necessitated buying new running shows b-c i am long overdue for a new pair.
they should come next week, and hopefully they don't suck like the asics gel 3000s did.
[the new, improved version of the gel empires you say? rubbish.]

i move in four days!
there it is, big and orange, in all caps on my calendar: MOVE
it will be a bigger house, proximity to town will make things walkable, cheaper rent, the water will be drinkable, my cell phone will work, i will be able to get internet.
so, basically i will be moving into the 21st century.
it's about time.

first i have to figure out how to get my lawn mowed.
the lawnmower i normally use is broken.
i may have to grovel before my neighbor--or pay someone else to do it.
now that would be hoity-toity.

on another note: why is it feeling like early spring up here...in JUNE?!
yes, it's a northerly area, but this is uncalled for.
some vitamin D would be nice.

hello hello.
test test.
