#crazy runner

[gh-0-st-ly]

So I've been marathon training for a bit now and the last couple weeks the miles have really ramped up..... 14 miles last weekend and about the same this weekend plus all the shorter runs during the week... and I am sooo hungry all the time omg send help...

How insane would I be to try and do a half marathon (13.1 miles/21km)???

That is all

Crazy Run

Mummy mummy, did you see my Crazy Run? I did it for you xx

(Crazy Run = in the living room, behind the sofas, around the dining table, around the tea table MY Tea Table, over human's feet, between human's feet, in and out of bed, etc etc)

The term "crazy runner" is redundant. I mean, what's a sane runner then? Do they even exist? All runners are crazy - some more insane than others, but we're all a little mad here in our expensive rubber shoes and spandex and Bodyglide and fuel belts and headlamps.

Well looks like I will have some of the most embarrassing photos of me running tomorrow that ill ever get. I will be practically naked for 4 miles haha

2 years running and I still underestimate distances.

Thought I'd planned 7 miles, ended up with 7.88! Ow. What heatwave?

I actually shocked a bicyclist. He'd stopped to stretch as I passed, and I heard through my earphones, "How can you run! It's 81 degrees!" I said through breaths as best I could, "I'll regret it in a few miles!" In fact, I think I was the only runner on the trail! #crazyrunner

The only thing I regretted was going shirtless. I'm an insane sweat-producing beast when I run - I make my own Bodyglide! lol - and I usually use my shirt to wipe the sweat from my eyes. Today, I was like, "Fuck it, it's too hot," and it hurt. I'm so glad Dad bikes two laps whenever I run so I can use the sleeves of his shirt to wipe off my eyes the two times we pass each other lol I'm sure it looks silly to passersby, but I hate having to carry more than my cell phone when I run. Maybe I'll hold a small face towel next time, idk. I tried a wristband, but I sweat right through it and it's useless! Besides, I worry about the weird tan line.

That's the one thing I like about running in the autumn and winter: I don't sweat as much to blind myself when I run!

Seventh Week 18/03 - 24/03 Crazy Runner

This week the production team were given the task of making a game in 3-4 days. The game document we were given was an endless runner game called Crazy Runner. The other groups set out to start making the assets, like the walls and the player character; while the programmer just went straight into it. I was given the task of creating the randomly generating obstacles, that come in the player's way. I accomplished this while also structuring he code in such a way to allow for on the go changes of: the spacing of the obstacles; their position and direction; the amount of them on screen (as each obstacle was reused after it had complete it's cycle, to reduce keep the game smooth). Unfortunately the game ended up just speeding up at a set rate and we never actually changed the distance between the obstacles. But the original code took those into consideration at the beginning so it was much easier to implement them later on, even if they weren't used. I also did the fog in the distance in the game, as well as the auto-jump, whenever you go through a hole in the obstacle. The fog is done using particle effects, which are incredibly fun to program. This week we actually got a finished and polished game out, that we're all proud of! it's actually fun as well, which is really good since it only took us 4 days. Here is the finished product: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16179660/CrazyRunner/FINALBUILD.html
