The United States of America is officially over.

It is now Trumplandia.

I started The Deep History of Ourselves by Joseph LeDoux over the weekend. Reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan helped me understand the universe a bit more. Which made me want to understand humanity better. I suppose this is about how life evolved to give us the conscious brain that we currently possess.

I finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley last week. It was okay. I’m sure if I had read it when it was first published, it would seem ground breaking.

Nice!

Thanks! That’s funny because I walked out of the edge of my town and walked the length of the next town and back.

A good life is a dull life. :)

There were some people on horseback so I did a light jog to get around them faster. That was probably when that happened.

I know how difficult it can be to start but it feels good once you do. Good luck to you! I look forward to seeing your 2 hour post! ;)

That’s true, I can be a little stubborn with exercise induced pain. I’ll go back down to 1.5 hours for a few more weeks. Thanks!

I will start wearing my running shoes instead since they have a thicker sole. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

That sounds fun. I’ll give it a try thanks!

What if I was walking like an Egyptian?

Yeah, I’m not really sure how accurate my smartwatch is but that’s what it measured.

For that long of a session I think I was wearing the wrong shoes. I was wearing training shoes instead of running shoes. I do have running shoes so I think that’s what I’ll wear next time.

I’ll look into the Atoms, thanks for the recommendation!

I’m currently walking in order to build up to light jogging. I began a few weeks ago so it might be a few more before I transition to jogging and then to running.

A few years ago I did a Zero to 10k and got to 4.5 miles in 13 weeks before I stopped. I’m hoping this time I won’t stop.

I’m secretly a tortoise.

Imagine the flatest and straightest road you can think of. In my area there aren’t any interesting places to walk that I don’t need to drive to first. Starting and ending at my house is the easiest for me so that’s what I do.

It was a nice walk. :) The last 20 mintues were more dificult once my feet began to get fatigued.

I have been walking about 1.5 hours without any problems so I’ll probably go back to doing that.

Thanks!

You are all very kind. Thank you!

Thanks! Yes about 1/3rd of the lid sits inside the body.

I made rabbets for the lid to sit on.
