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

Apple Store Queue
Well, tomorrow’s the big day and people are already queueing up for the Apple Store opening. Gizmodo has pictures from inside, and Lifehacker has tips for “getting the most” out of the store. Their advice: Don’t go on the first day, and don’t wear a skirt. Noted.

Go Celtics!
Go Celtics!
I was just walking up Miller Street in North Sydney on my lunch break when I happened to glance inside the Rag and Famish. They were playing the NBA Finals live! I stepped in to check the score – the Celtics were up by, like, 25 points. Oh man. Eileen must be having SO MUCH FUN!Read and add comments: Go Celtics!4 responses

Post-Exercise Headaches
This one’s for the Snook: “How do I stop getting headaches after working out?” Now if only I could find an explanation for why I get the post-exercise sneezes…

Sensis Sucks
I’d just like to say that if this rumour is true, then THANK YOU APPLE. Sensis absolutely sucks and there’s no way I’d want that crap pre-loaded on my iPhone.

Survival Tips
Survival tips for time travelers. My favorite comment is: “Didn’t Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi already answer this question in Army of Darkness? Just make sure you bring a shotgun, a chemistry textbook, and an Oldsmobile.”

Miracle of miracles – I got the Snook out on the road again! He hasn’t done any running since the 9K Bridge Run in September of last year. His company is entering a team into the City 2 Surf though, and he’s feeling the pressure not to come in last. So Sunday he headed out on a short half-hour run around the neighbourhood with me. My back was still feeling quite tender from the physio earlier in the week, but I managed. My lungs are in great shape now. I didn’t feel winded at all. I may have even been pushing it a bit, trying to impress Snookums with the improvement in my fitness. He kept up with me the whole way, but I think a lot of that was male pride. He’s hurting a lot worse than I am today. Anyway, now I just have to keep him motivated for two more months.
In other news, I went back for another session with the physiotherapist today. My back was starting to lock up again (as he expected), but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was last week. He put everything back in place and then showed me some simple Pilates exercises to start strengthening my core. I’m still restricted to short 30 minute runs, but I’ve got another week or two before I begin my Melbourne Half-Marathon training in earnest.
Lastly, I was getting caught up on my podcasts this morning and was happily surprised to get a shout-out on Brandon’s Marathon. Brandon ran a triathlon earlier this month, a feat that I can only dream about right now. Well done, Brandon! Good luck on whichever of the fall marathons you decide to do…
