wojelahFly-by running post, because this week is nuts in ways both good and bad, some of them tied to how some really smart people simply fail to evolve basic survival skills and expect the rest of the world to care for them/pick up their slack and it is. not. cute. In fact, it makes me want to beat said people with sticks.
Ahem. This means I have lots of things I want to comment on/read/etc. and so if you get totally random comments from me on Thursday night, it's b/c I finally have alone time with my computer. :)
Went running at lunch time today b/c college roommate and her husband are in town and oh my god, I wish I lived closer to them, because they are just GOOD people. The kind of friends you don't ever have to worry about seeing you in your pajamas with your hair insane, because they already seen you in every mood and status you possess. I love them, and I'm so glad they're here, and between this and tripping toomglawdork's, and new internet people of awesome, I'm just feeling thankful for that. Sometimes I look around and wonder how they all - you all - happened, because I live in my head and know what a pain in the ass I can be. And then I realize that hey, you all are cool, so if nothing else, I get your awesome by contamination, and that's spectacular.
So. Running: three miles, as per the good Mr. Higdon's plan (thanks,purna!). Did the whole thing at 3.0 mph or slightly faster (except for a short warm-up period), which meant I pulled off 3.0 mph in <i>just</i> under an hour. Walked 2.5 min at 3.0 mph/ran 2.5 min. Running speed for the 2.5 minutes was 3.0 for some cycles, then towards the middle I went to 3.1 mph for the last minute of the run, and right in the very middle, went up to 3.2/3.3 mph for 30 seconds. No pausing, and no praying for death, and right now I feel pretty good! I've decided that the "short" runs during the week are going to be for working on speed, and then the "long" run on Saturday is going to be for working on not dying, so it's ok if it happens at a slower speed. Wahoo!
