(AKA the Original. Doubled.)
(i.e., twice as much Original as the Original.)
(That is, the Original x2.)
(As in, essentially two Originals.)
(Whatever the Original is. Probably a hamburger?)◼

2013 Twin Cities Marathon, in photos
So, that marathon I ran this morning? Went pretty damn well. My official time is 3 hours 19 minutes 55 seconds, which is a personal record marathon time—by about ten minutes! I attribute this to (1) spectacular autumnal weather—clear, cool, and perfect for running; (2) some half-arsed attempts at speed training I did over the winter; and (3) actually paying attention to my pacing, instead of my usual marathon strategy of just running as fast as I can until I end up barely able to walk the last mile.

Science online, I did pretty much all of my science offline this week edition

Western conifer seed bug. Photo by Emily Jones at Natural Current Events.I’ve been meaning for quite some time to point readers to Natural Current Events, the photoblog by Emily Jones (who, to disclose fully, is a postdoc with one of my doctoral committee members). It’s a photoblog with nice natural history notation, mainly focused on insects, their host plants, and their predators — but really covering anything that will stand still long enough for Emily to catch a photo. Each post is like a short walk through your neighborhood woodlot with a natural-history-savvy friend.◼
