...Or reason for existence. It might be appropriate to wax philosophical on this topic, with clever questions that often reveal other questions, and rarely satisfying answers, such as -- why do we exist? why is the marathon twenty-six point two miles long? And couldn't Pierre de Coubertin or the Royal Family just have rounded it off to just 25, and make it vastly simpler for everyone else to calculate their stats??

Far be it from me to indulge in such a discussion on a Sunday night.

The reason for this blog is simple: I got tired of maintaining my running log (no pun). I need a place to keep track of miles run, times taken, health, fitness, mood, etc. That's it.

As much as possible, I'm going to keep track of my weekend runs, the times, the paces kept (or missed). And probably the same for weekday runs as well. I had a paper log, but it's getting cumbersome. One day I'll probably upload it in an Excel file, just for my satisfaction, but that'll come later.

Besides, it's much more fun to link to other runners, reluctant or otherwise, and share with friends and family.

And now, back to nursing the knee.
