This morning's walk

Probably my most ambitious one so far since most of the way back was uphill.

4.3 miles per Google Maps

This was a pain in the ass to plot out on the map. I need to start making my phone do the work.

So serious

If you would like to as well, make a tomato dressing out of four romas, the juice of a lime, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Let it cool in the fridge while you brown up ground turkey and season it with a packet of taco seasoning, and add a can of rinsed black beans. Make a big circle of shredded lettuce, fill the center with crushed Tapatio Doritos, pile on the turkey, and surround the whole thing with the tomato dressing, avocado, corn, and shredded cheese. Top with greek yogurt, more tomato dressing, and olives.

Sometimes I wake up before my alarm. If it happens to be 4:10am when I do,
I just get up and leave because I can catch the 5:23 bus instead of the
5:53. Today is one of those days.

Got my new phone yesterday, so I tried mapping my walk using MapMyRun's app. Unfortunately, the GPS isn't super accurate (at least not in those neighborhoods with all the hills and trees) so the app ended up thinking I covered a lot more ground than I actually did. 

 

On the left, the app thinks I went 3.8 miles, but on the right, the course plotted on a map is 2.4. That's 42% extra. It also just about doubled the distance between my bus stop and office, though I can't plot that one on a map because I cut through a field and can't make the map do that. But I think it's about half a mile in real life.

I do like the MapMyRun site, though. It's much easier to plot on there than on plain Google Maps. Many thanks to [info]porkchopblog for the tip! Hopefully there will eventually be a feature where you can correct the saved run to get rid of the extra zig-zagging they think you do. Makes me wonder about FitBit stats. Any FitBit users know if there are similar issues?

We are nearly done with Felicity, and Sweaters of Felicity is also almost out of material. It's a good show, but I'm so tired of Felicity's relationship with Ben. I've always felt Noel was a better choice, and Felicity should have dumped Ben's ass the first time he got in a fistfight. Or the second. Or the fifth. 

I also hate the way Javier complained about his weight for ages, but then was suddenly much thinner and it was never talked about. Totally weird.

I wish Sweaters of Felicity was more popular. But maybe it's better if nobody notices it and the studio doesn't send lawyers over like with the late, great Ridiculous Pictures of Celine Dion.

Also just posted to SeaWC today and am quite happy with that post. Sometimes the writing just spills out. I like when that happens.

Garrett's birthday present was finally delivered to his office today. I'm very excited about it. I told him he could open it today, so expect a picture later.

Ah, new phones. I guess the MapMyRun app kept the GPS on all day and drained my battery completely. It's charging now, but I'm leaving in 20 minutes and it's only at 5%. Oopsie. Hopefully my extended life battery comes quickly. I got one for my first smartphone and loved it.

Noice


It's definitely spring

Poor, neglected kitty

By all means, take five seats
