Oh well. It seemed like the right thing to do. You'll have to settle on running with plain old not-undead Allan and Stevie in your ears.

It was only $3.99 last weekend (50% discount). It's back up to $7.99 here, so not too far off of the UK price. If you send your iTunes userid to allan at parkedthoughts.com, I'll gift it to you out of my pocket. Yes, I believe in it that much and I think you will too.

Yay! I love pixie dust and running. Now you're a dirty sweaty princess!

Hey Beth. I used to be a member of Front Runners as well when there was a local chapter in our town. I might be doing the Disney Marathon in 2013 as well - or possibly the Philly Marathon this year. Either way, I might see you.

Good luck on your running adventure!

BTW, sorry for the late reply. My notification settings about comments in moderation were messed up.

Agreed. There are a lot of things that don't work quite right about SuperBetter as-is, but I like this attempt to use game elements to focus on academic goals.

I could talk your ear off about Activity Theory (CHAT) and how things are just artifacts that mediate human activity, but I won't. I need to give that a nod though since that has shaped my interest in verb focus.

Thanks Natalie. One of the presenters later on (Ruben) had done some analysis of all of the topics that were posted and how they had morphed and merged. It was fascinating. When his video is available, I may post it. It was an anthropological perspective on our concepts of "social", "mobile", and other ideas that we think are new.

Thanks Stella. We're like chocolate cake except not fattening!

Awesome - thanks for the info on the race. I looked up an elevation profile and you're right, that uphill climb around mile 16 looks like it's straight up. The overall elevation gain and loss seems to be about the same as Pittsburgh, so I'll keep integrating some hills into my workouts, just in case.

I looked up my race information:
Bib: 27426
Start Info: Blue Wave #2, Corral #27
Start Time: 10:10 AM

I'm really looking forward to it. I've been applying every year since 2008. They finally took pity on me.
