Right now me and G are fighting over the last two thin-mint cookies, part of our strict health regimen. I don’t feel too guilty about stuffing my face with these little minty pillows of delight because just a few days ago I acted on the suggestions from this post, and did this run:

This was my first attempt at hanging up minimalist wallpaper while exercising. We’re still collecting the results, tallying up the votes and rejecting the hanging chads — but it seems pretty effective at enhancing the running trancing. I managed to do a 5 mile run after having done only one 3 mile one in the last few months, and noticed myself drifting off in that awesome “forget that you’re running” way a bunch of times. WE LIKE IT!

It was also a fantastic bonus that the house came trotting into view just 45 seconds before the end of the piece, totally unplanned!
