The same kind of things as fallingleaves, which I kind of talked about here. I started running again too. Ran farther (further?) than I've ever ran before, at 2.5m. I don't like running much but it was enjoyable until I got a blister on my foot. Need a new pair of running shoes.

I'm also going to start working on learning how to use Ableton, so if anyone has any tips or knows of good tutorial videos or what have you, let me know.

Oh wait, super short term I'm about to work on digging out my stereo system, setting it up, and blasting some records.

You might really like this article I just found about breaking out of the low mood cycle.

I'm bookmarking that for future reference. I haven't really been in a low mood cycle as of late, but the But I Can't Because of Thing section struck a chord. I very much go about the improving yourself route. Most of my problems right now are entirely in my head and about relationship based things.

Also, those pictures were hilarious.

I don't want to sound condescending; I don't know how much you know about running. But, you know not to wear cotton socks, right?

No, it's fine. I wasn't wearing them. Not sure what happened, but it was very humid out the other night.

Yeah, the humidity might have done it. Blisters suck :(

Congrats on the 2.5, though! I know how great it feels to break your records. Have you thought about doing a 5k?
