Saturday, 9/22--After I finished my work at the College, I returned home and decided to do a workout at Westtown. It was a humid 84 degrees with a headwind. I was noticeable sluggish but decided to work out anyway. On tap was 10x400, with 70 seconds as the goal pace and 400 meter jog (around 3:00) as the recovery. As soon as I began, I knew it would be a tough workout for me today. I bent the rules, adjusted my expectations, and tried not to get down on myself.
Run #1--72
Run #2--73
Run #3--73
Run #4--71
Run #5--70
I decided to venture into 200s at this point to get some confidence.
Run #6--32
Run #7--30
Run #8--32
Run #9--31
I transitioned back to the 400s.
Run #10--69
Run #11--70
Run #12--64
As it turned out, the 4 200s were substitutes for 2 400s.
Friday, 9/21--Running a bit late, I ventured to the Y at 6AM for a running/lifting workout, alternating between the two using both the 16-lap-to-the-mile track and treadmill. I decided not to do full miles. Instead, I did 13 laps on the track (3) and .82 (2) on the treadmill. The times ranged between 5:35 (first) and 5:20 (fif.th). I ended with a half mile on the treadmill in 3:15. And then I was off to my first board meeting weekend as a Swarthmore College trustee. Who would have thought that I'd be so honored by my alma mater? I am indeed humbled to have been appointed to serve and to be in the company of so many distinguished alums.
