To Run Or Not To Run

I couldn’t resist writing a post with a double meaning title

Meaning number 1: Woop!! Over my easter holidays I took up running, going about once every two days and doing from 4-7 miles depending on how I was feeling by the end of the 4 weeks. Since being back at uni though I haven’t been once - partly because I had a slight phobia about running in a city instead of through the countryside (there’s sooo many people here!), and partly because I’ve been lazy. Well, today I finally went for a run and it was awesome! I did about 4 miles at a fairly good pace and found a nice route that, for about half the distance, went along the riverside. My legs feel heavy now, but it was the ideal way to procrastinate for a while

Meaning number 2: I might put myself forward for the Fedora Board elections. I originally planned not to, but it seems like the general vibe is the more the merrier. If I did get elected then I’m sure it would be a great experience (working with so many older and wiser people than myself :p) and lots of fun - whatever I do with Fedora has always been lots of fun so I’m confident it would be no different! And if I didn’t get elected, I’m pretty sure the community wouldn’t be losing out on too much with my abscence, and it’s something I think I’d definitely like to come back to at some point in the future after I’ve been around the block a few more times.

Agh, and I’ve just noticed WordPress now has a word count - how depressing to see I’ve written nearly 300 words in a 10th the time it’s taken me to do the same for my essay this afternoon!! I’d better get back to work…
