Running is hard, and mmm pencils...
Running 3 times a week is hard. I do it to keep myself in shape, but it's so very tiring. I can only assume I'm getting better at it (or at least being consistent), but I wonder if I ever had a chance of being good at running when just trying to run a mile in under 10 minutes seems impossible.
Sprinting is fine. Sprinting is easy. But long stretches of running? Painful and slow.
Anyway, I broke down and bought some pencils last week. I don't really need more pencils, but I really like stationery, and wooden pencils remind me of the joys of smelling the cedar wood, and the excitement of figuring out what to draw. I know it's just a pencil, but I just love pencils.
It also doesn't help that some of the old pencils I have can't be bought anymore simply because they're not made anymore. So I also buy them to collect them. At least they're (usually?) not too expensive.
