Session 9: 3.3mi in 50 minutes (3.96mph), new peak of 5.5mph for a half-lap, at least 1 full lap at 4.8mph. I was so pleased I broke the 50-minute 5K barrier, but actually, I broke that barrier already on some previous session, because I standardized on a 3.3mi workout but 5K is only 3.1mi. The gym was a little on the undercooled side for my taste. I don't remember for certain, because all this running and overheating my brain has melted the myelin on a few axons, but I think my choice of distance was b... (...more)

(per twitter) 3.3mi, 52min. Feeling off-peak and maxed at 5.0mph, played around a little with grades, longest jog phase 1.25 laps at 4.8mph. I dug back thru my FB wall to review from where I started training. Silly me, it would have been a lot easier to dig back thru Twitter - much less clutter, and the bulk of my recent tweets are my treadmill log. Anyway, it was June 21, 3.5mi in ~1 hour. Session 2, Jun 29, peak at 4.2mph. Session 3, Jul 12, peak at 4.4mph. Session 4, Aug 2, peak at 4.7mph. Sess... (...more)

(per twitter) 3.3 mi in 51min. TWO full-lap jogs, other half-lap-plus stretches up to 5.3mph peak. Calves and thighs starting to need overtraining.

The "latest" view now truncates long entries at half a kilobyte (after stripping tags). Disentangled the blog engine's INCLUDE heirarchy from the overall site design, relocated the "controller" into the app directory, and replaced hard-coded path and file references with centrally-configured variables. The goal is to be able to rename the app's directory, move it up or down a level, even put a container+configuration module pair somewhere else in the site file structure, and have it serve seamlessly wit...

So if we're going to do this join table connecting entries to tags, there are 5 places we need to add code to interact with the entry-tag table: Once in each of the 4 phases of the entry "life cycle" (Create, Read, Update, Delete), and once more in a catch-all category we'll call "maintenance". Depending how rigorously we design the database back-end, maintenance as such may be superfluous, but in this application there's one situation where we may reasonably want an additional "tag maintenance" functi...
