Two Weeks of Exercise

I kept it up this week though my legs have started to say "oh? you're serious? well we have something to say about that." So while I'm running more my walking is slower so pace hasn't changed much. And I did have one day where my shins just weren't having any of it so I only did a really slow 30 minutes.

Needless to say I'm forced to start slow and not much running is happening yet, but slow running is more comfortable than fast walking so it'll start playing a bigger role if I keep this up.

Total treadmill distance covered: 43.31 miles. If I did that consecutively out on city streets, I could have almost all the way to Stanford.

There is a new movie coming out called The International in which Clive Owen tries to bring down a globe-spanning bank (not good timing since they're all in the process of bringing themselves down) engaged in shady things.

I like Clive Owen. I hope he'll have my babies someday. So I may see it. But the commercial annoys me.

"You give them [banks] your money. You trust them. But what if they do something else with it?"

Presumably it doesn't need to be pointed out that doing something else with your money is exactly what banks are supposed to do with your money. It is almost the sole reason they exist. In fact, at the moment a big part of the general economic climate is caused by banks being too scared to actually go do something else with your money.

I know they mean "But what if they do something bad with it" but it still grates.
