⇒ new os, challenges met

after much blood, sweat and (mostly) tears, I rose to the hardware challenge:
1. open Apple laptop
2. remove internal hard drive
3. install new internal hard drive
4. reseal laptop
5. install new RAM
6. install new OS
7. restore all settings and preferences

It was a long night! Installing the OS, waiting, hoping...praying. In the end, everything went right from the get-go.

Today, ran pretty well. I'm beginning to figure out my running speed (optimal balance of air intake vs. expenditure). It's roughly 10.5km/h. Made 2.0km in 12' again! Before that, I did 1.6km in 9'33" which is better, but not great. Went on to run 2.9km in 20' and use about 200KCALs.

No gym girl + grandparents visiting + sushi at home = short gym sess. Did bench 50 x 16 just for the heck of it.
