Ooh, I totally forgot about the track being a more forgiving surface. More excitement!
But first, walking the dog, for lo he has been very patient.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I am home. Immediately took a three hour nap, which I so needed.

Bowling, laser tag and a margarita as big as my head. And apparently now is family game night. Whee!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've done nothing for the last two days but sleep, read, catch up on DVRed tv, and sleep. It's great. Mr. Bathroom Scale tells me I've lost two more pounds in the last two weeks, which is surprising, considering holiday food. Oh, look, there's some holiday food now. Well, better get rid of that!

I have been so busy with family and hanging out that I have not spent nearly any time on FB or here, and have read only ONE book! Madness. Though I will admit I've read quite a number of Yuletide fics.

So I did my one mile test run (between that and warming up and cooling down and taking the dog for what turned into a 2+ mile walk I've put in a good 5 miles today, which feels pretty good) and my time is higher than the highest reference time on the chart to tell me my "speed zones". Sigh.
But the track is kind of awesome. So springy! So little opportunity to trip over something or have a small child run into you! Definitely a good find.

What chart is that, -t?

I'm trying the "cool impossible" program and the first step is to use your "one mile test time" to look up the pace you should be aiming for in the seven "speed zones" that are used in the training program. Only my test time is 13:47 (which is faster than I was last year!) and the highest time on the chart is 10:00.
I knew I was slow, but literally off the chart is a bit of a downer. But I surely if I just double the paces listed for half my time, that'll be close enough. Presumably I will get faster eventually...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm watching Go -- a Christmas movie! -- and I forgot about Timothy Olyphant!

It's quite a while since I've seen that, but that was probably where he first caught my eye.
