To go below one nanokelvin is like running a mile below four minutes for the first time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fortunately or unfortunately, NaNoWriMo requires you to write at a breakneck pace, so I got used to just pushing on through.
Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower.
A perfect run has nothing to do with distance. It's when your stride feels comfortable.
Nanotechnology is the idea that we can create devices and machines all the way down to the nanometer scale, which is a billionth of a meter, about half the width of a human DNA molecule.
When I understood the rudiments of what nanotech was all about, I knew I wanted to participate.
That time is important. It gives a comforting illusion of permanence not found in running by the mile.
I can't really do the running on hard ground that I used to do. Instead I go swimming as often as possible.
You could run harder, longer. If the workout was four 200s really, really fast, they wouldn't seem as hard as before. You could cut the rest down from five minutes to three. That's a big difference.
I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest.
Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run.
