fitness: c25k w3r3

Nice. Knee held up fine, especially after a good rub-down yesterday.
…though now I wonder if I was supposed to be doing run 1 of wk4 instead of wk3r3… ? Whatevs. Slow and steady is _definitely_ my mantra (although ‘gaining without pain’ might be good).
…looks like I’ve gotten all confused with the weeks and done run3 of week 3 twice, but not done run 1 or 2 of that week. I’ll try to remember to do the same run again on Wednesday (ie a third run from week3, as they’re all the same. I think). Doh.

Feeling pretty good, except I’ve just had no energy and been a bit puffy post-run. Not in a ‘I’ve run really fast way’ but in a ‘I can’t get any air’ way. I figure it’s just a cold or bug I’ve been battling.
Either way, the running itself is going fine, but I can’t seem to go as far as I usually do…

picnic wear


Every year dancers go to the Governor’s picnic, and to the Gatsby picnic, wearing late 20s/early 30s clobber and having a lovely time dancing to a live band, picnicing, chatting and so on. This year and last the Sartorialist took some lovely photos.
There’s also a story on Citizen Couture about one of the dancers. I like the pics, there, but it bothers me that he used staples to keep his vintage trousers’ hems up – the damage they’d have done to the fabric under those conditions!
Rick has also posted a story about the day.
I like the summer fashion of these events, and wish we had that sort of thing here. I can never decide what I’d wear, though. I like the light summer dresses of the period, but they do NOT suit my body shape. I do, however, also like the men’s fashions – straw boater’s, strongly coloured striped jackets, linen trousers, bow ties… It’s all good.
Garance Dore made a comment a little while ago about plus sized models being ‘unhealthy’. I can’t remember what happened with that story, but it caused a bit of a flurry. I liked the way it highlighted the hypocrisy of the Sartorialist’s commitment to ‘everyday’ fashion on ‘ordinary’ people but only shooting the same old body types.
