All these things happened as a direct result of my running, this much is obvious. I don't know how my legs are linked to the politics of the US, but I hope to understand my powers some day soon. Also Chris Dorner was briefly resurrected when I hit the gym last week (they found his gun). It seems my thighs quench life and my biceps bring it forth.

Last time I went for a long run (managed to be my longest yet at 13k!) This time I am going for a short 5k. I hope to be able to do it in under 22 minutes (when I was at my peak I could do it just under 18 minutes!) We will see if it is time, distance or speed that determines this.

It’s like that saying, “a watched pot never boils”. Things only happen when you’re not watching an internet.

There are runs where decades happen

I was thinking about Jeff Bezos as I ran. Getting closer and closer.

Too perfect, p-values ~~through the roof~~ exactly 0.5

Run along the San Andreas fault line so Escape From LA can happen.

Run backward along the fault so Bad Day LA can happen

Is your old handle taking a break? I was worried after you didn't come back from your last run. Don't do that! chopper-cry

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I clicked delete account, I do that once in a while to clean house, but it was the first time I'd done it on this one and now "delete" actually means deleted.
If I stop posting then its just because I am in a better place (mentally) though, so don't worry too much. Either that or I've been turned into a newt, which is also good.

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok! I guess with my own mind state i overthought your old handles final post 'I'm going for a loong run' 'stay safe' the longer it was that you were gone. I even creeped your history to check on you, sorry bout the overreactin

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I can see how that could be interpreted that way, but if I were to do anything like that, then I wouldn't post about it. I don't want to cause others harm, and that could impact a lot of people

New bit idea: we make a new live-action Deathnote for Netflix and we replace the book with MC Ride running montages.

You got Phil Donahue this run. i-told-you-dog

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

rip-bozo
or was he an okay dude?

[–] StalinistApologist@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

He pioneered daytime talk shows and his was the first to include audience participation in the late 1960s with The Phil Donahue Show. I didn't know about this but he did a series of Citizens' Summits with the USSR, which seems like a good thing since the NYTimes hates it in that link.

Maybe not that bad a guy, just the only newsworthy thing announced since your run when I looked.

~~noooooooooooo, not Linda Yaccarino!!~~ oh right, Susan Wocjkijcjcikji

I think Stephen Fry has a story of generations of his family going to some theatre and American presidents getting assassinated.

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I didn't know Stephen Fry was related to Robert E Lee

Run you glorious bastard.
