I didn't plan to run today, but my class was canceled!! It was really canceled...I didn't skip it. The thing I have noticed is that I am a much better student since I have gotten older. I don't skip class, I don't sleep through class, and I actually pay attention and try to learn the information for more than just to pass a test. I have turned into the annoying non-trad student that I despised in college. I ran my normal loop at the regular speed for the first lap and tried to pick it up for the second lap. Normally it takes me about 29:30 to finish (2.81 miles), but today I ran it in 27:56. I knew I was running much faster than normal because my respirations were greatly increased and I was having to do some very active breathing. I sprinted the final 50 m and then walked another 0.7 miles to catch my breath and for a cool down. While I was walking home I saw a new kind of motor bike. A guy was actually riding a bicycle with a little go-cart motor attached, and he was using the motor to cruise downhill!? |
