How running is helping my perfectionism

by

I am not a runner. When my elementary school had track and field days, I would pretend I was sick so that I could get out of it. When people ask me to sign up for half marathons for charity events, I laugh at them.

Ahhhh coffee, just writing the word makes me happy. I can already feel the warmth of the mug, the smell of roasted coffee beans in the air and the sense that productive work is about to go down! But is it really healthy for us grad students to be drinking it?
