don't take things personally (read all 3 entries…)

fare thee well  — 1 year ago

It is very hard not to wonder what I said to upset somebody to make them unsubscribe from me. I know that people close accounts, they move on, they adjust subscribers, it may not be that I did anything at all. It could be that what I say just doesn’t interest them. It could be they hate my foul language. But in the end, really, I shouldn’t take it personally.

I am certainly confused as to why I have as many subscribers as I do. And yet, I lost 6 subscribers this week and I have to say that it does bother me. I think it’s the not knowing who or why that makes me sad. Sometimes I wish I could just turn off my subscriber count so’s as to not know. Ignorance… bliss? Maybe not.

So, goodbye you mystery 6. I hope you fare well. You’re welcome back anytime you like, but you’re free to go any time.

Those of you still around and interested in the verbose ramblings of an aging programmer, you’re crazy, but I love you.

you aren't the only

one to take the mileage and running thing a little overboard….

At least regarding subscribers..I’m cool.
I subscribe to pretty much no one. But I have a lot of subscribers, sometimes I lose a bunch, I guess for being boring, then a bunch come in again, and I never worry too much about it.

There's not much I like about treadmills

But one of the things I do like is all the numbers going on… miles, laps, vertical distance, calories burned, time elapsed… marvelous real-time displays.

And there’s the rain thing… which I think you understand. The weather is always nice on the treadmill.

On the other hand, it seems so perverse to run indoors and it is so easy to quit. If you run 6 miles away from home, you pretty much have to run 6 miles back. On the treadmill, the end of your run is one stop button away. It’s just too easy to let that little voice win.

Plus, running 9 miles on trails in Denver in 36 degree weather with my step dad riding a bike along side a couple years ago for marathon training over xmas vacation stands out as one of my favorite runs of all time.

I’ve been following your mileage posts. You seem to be recovering well. I’m very pleased for you.

the treadmill, dreadmill.

I always feel a little like a gerbil on those things, but they are so nice for the real time displays, though I have started to doubt their accuracy…but whatever….
