Sun, 12/22/24-
On this 14-degree morning (7-degree real-feel temp!), I went to the partially snow-covered field and track and quickly discovered I might be alone today. After a couple of minutes, John (who lives nearby) showed up. I warmed up close to a mile and stretched into the science building. John accompanied me. We decided we would do some 150s...wearing trainers. Given my condition, I figured they would be modest. Boy, was I right! They were more like strides than sprints! The first was in 27. The second was in 26. Then I saw from a distance that Chuck Shields had come out. Evidently, he had just finished doing hills on Valley Green Rd. John and I did two more 150s, in 25 and 24, after which I suggested we check out the brick-paved hill on campus...as a complement to Chuck's efforts. We jogged to the brick-paved path. I figured we'd do 4. I cut the last 10m off, just beyond the tennis pavilion, as it was icy. Chuck did the first one with us. My runs were 37, 36, 35, and 34. Although my knee was still problematic, I felt decent about this effort. (Adding back in the last 10m, and these times would be about 39, 38, 37, and 36, not bad.) I'm glad we followed the red brick-paved pathway!
