Well, I'm definitely wet, but I don't know as it's *sweat* equity

lizvogelWeek 5 Day 2: Dear god, I've turned into one of those lunatic people who go running in the rain.
The cold, I might add, rain.
Still, two 8-minute jogs today, which is !!! for me.
I am noticing that in any run of significant duration (like, more than a minute), there's a point about one-third of the way in where stopping sounds like a really good idea. It doesn't seem to matter how long the total is, and therefore how long one-third is; just that it's one-third of the way. Curiously, this is also the point in the writing of a novel where most people think stopping sounds like a good idea -- variously known as the 30K blues, the one-third slump, or in my case, the "I don't even care about this any more, why am I even bothering, oh wait I'm about a third of the way through aren't I?" whinge. Is there some universal human flagging point at a third of the way through any endeavor?
