Tuesday, August 15, 2006 A few questionsI'm back from a short vacation and I'm tired. Our flight home was delayed. I didn't get enough sleep last night. I don't have the energy to think. So, I'll just post a few questions that have come to mind in the last few days:1. How dumb is it to have a running streak? By "streak" I mean the number of days in a row without taking a day off. Back in the day, Meenehan had a streak of well over a year. I doubt my longest streak is more than about two weeks. But, I've been thinking it might be an interesting experience to put together a streak. Not because it makes sense in phsyically, but because it might be a way to learn something about motivation. My rule will be that I've got to run at least 20 minutes for a day to count. My current streak is at 5 days (with very little total time...tonight I just jogged around for 20 minutes). We'll see how it goes. 2. Looking at some snapshots from the World Champs in Denmark, and I wondered, "Do you suppose he drank the entire bottle (see photo 1 and then photo 2)?" 3. Is looking at a map on the computer screen versus on paper really different? For me, looking at a map on paper feels very different from looking at the same map on a computer screen. I looked at all of the European Champs maps on line months ago. I looked at them on paper (in the latest Orienteering Today) at lunch this afternoon. When I looked at the maps on paper, they seem much more real. Is it just me? That's enough for now... posted by Michael | 7:18 PM
