i rode up to everett to get some aquatic plants at petsmart. i got some long leaf thing and some frilly thing (they have names, but i forgot them both as soon as i got home) to add to my shrinking elodea plant. i'm reminded of the original reason why i wanted an aquarium, and that was to just grow plants (inspired by the works of takashi amano); the fish was just an afterthought.

in the late afternoon i went out for a run. it's been over 3 weeks since my last run, and as i recall, that was more of a nauseous walk. i did much better this time, maybe because i had some music to keep me motivated. it was close to the end of the day so i was running in the sun glare most of the time. there'd be no asterisking this outing, and i only stopped once to get a much-needed drink at the public fountain (still opened, but soon to be dismantled for the winter). immediately after i finished my 3 miles, i could feel my thigh muscles tightening up, something that's never happened before (normally my body waits 24 hours before i feel the pain). i walked back home satisfied that i finally went running again.

the rest of the evening went like this: ramen, edumame beans, battlestar galactica, house rerun, the proposition, and season 1 episode of weeds.
