Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

@steven_noble I don’t mind gamification too much, but transmedia I’m not familiar with. What the heck does it mean? Sounds LGBT-related. 🙂
Got my orthotics. They feel very weird. Also, unexpectedly expensive. (Damn HCF waiting periods!!)
@sharre I thought you were going to nominate from the floor?!
@mpesce Actually if you’ve got a new passport, you’ll get to go through the high-tech photo scanner thing! Very futuristic.
Heading to #kgnswagm now. Museum is still closed, IIRC. Anybody know how I get in early to set up? @redambition @Kat13v
My t-shirt has a car crash on it. I thought it was thematically appropriate. #kgnswagm

RunningBlog: Week 9
This week saw me do my longest distance ever! On Sunday (as mentioned previously) I ran over 14 miles. It took me just over three hours doing a 1:1 run/walk. I felt surprisingly great during the run, but ever since I’ve felt run-down and a bit flu-ey. I’m not sure if I’m actually fighting off some sort of virus or if it’s just because of the stress of the run. At any rate, I took Monday and Tuesday off to recover. (I didn’t actually have much muscle soreness, which is good!) Wednesday I did my Spudds class and felt pretty great. Thursday morning I went for an easy run just to shake out the soreness from Spudds. And today… today I got my orthotics! They feel weird. He wants me to walk around in them for a few days before I attempt a run. Luckily this is a cutback week so I’ve only got 8K scheduled for Sunday.
Feb. 27: 22.61km
Mar. 3: 6.00km
Total this week: 28.61km (17.88mi)
Total in 2011: 207.64km (129.77mi)To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 190km right now. So I’ve built up a considerable cushion. The goal for March is to continue to follow my training plan and to avoid getting sick or injured!

In My Mind
Amanda Palmer has released a video for “In My Mind”, which is probably my favorite song off her new album. It’s lovely. The video isn’t what I expected, but I think it still works.

Smug. Smart. Has to pee.
“People with full bladders make better decisions, scientists discover.” Very interesting! I have a long-held personal theory that the male ability to pee standing up results in grown men who have no ability to “hold it” for any length of time. This research therefore indicates that women – who are much better at waiting for a toilet rather than peeing up against the nearest tree or wall, like YUCK DUDES PLEASE STOP – are actually SMARTER because of it! #smug #smart #hastopee

Wonder Woman
Last Sunday I went for my longest run ever: just over 14 miles (22.6km). I was well-prepared. I taped my injured foot myself. I put Voltaren on all my niggling sore places. I had my water belt and four packets of Endura gel for nutrition. I’d also lined up The Other Kris to meet me half-way and run a bit together. It was great! The whole run went perfectly. I first ran through Newtown to Sydney Park, where I did a little tour of the wetlands and cricket ground. Then I headed through the industrial wasteland of Alexandria on my way to Centennial Park. I met Kris in the park and we ran about 6km together. My planning was spot-on, as I finished the two loops in the park with exactly 3.5km left to run home. The Snook met me on Cleveland Street and ran the rest of the way back to the house with me. Then I drank two chocolate milks and had an ice bath. 🙂
Such an amazing run merited a reward, I decided. Issy mentioned on Twitter that the MAC Wonder Woman line was finally available. I’m not a huge make-up wearer, but who can resist bright red lippie in a Wonder Woman case? I stopped by DJ’s last night to try it on and ended up buying it.
I love it! When I finish my next – even longer! – long run, I might have to reward myself with another item from the collection…
