Mockingbird

5.1 miles on the home Landice. Planned on 6.2, but cranking it to 10.2 mph for the last half mile of the first 5.2 blew a fuse, treadmill halted abrubtly, I nearly ran into the front. I wonder if it had something to do with the fact that I have a treadmill, TV, stereo, cable modem, router, and computer going through a single outlet :-/ No fuses left in the house, crap, done, oh well, a decent run, just no proper cool down. Splits were like 7:13, 6:54, 6:48, 6:43, 6:21.

Watched "To Kill A Mockingbird" with this kids, what a great movie, and book, of course, tragic but hopeful. Gregory Peck really does such an awesome job as Atticus Finch, and the kids are great too (that link has a recording of Atticus' closing statments in the trial.) We actually arranged my son's initials to be JEM, after Jem; I wanted to name my daughter Scout, but that got vetoed, as well as my lobby to name my first son (from a previous life), Linus. These older movies move so much more slowly and calmly than movies now, which I like, what an old fogie I'm becoming.
