2:02:41. Easy run around the hood (which means in the mountains, which means very hilly ;-) ). Felt pretty good today. I ran especially easy because I am feeling better, but I have a pretty stressful couple of days coming up. I am leaving for Philadelphia tomorrow morning, have a very long day of grant reviews on Tuesday, then a long trip home very late Tuesday night ... culminating in a very early first day of classes on Wednesday. The class I teach in the spring is a little easier, in terms of material, but much larger (~50 or more students) and much more variable in their comfort level with mathematics. It is a tricky class, since there is no way to make everyone happy (e.g., if I teach it too easily the people who need to learn it feel cheated, if I make it too hard then the people who are taking it to fulfill their requirements are overwhelmed). I am hoping that come next fall I can teach another higher level course, which would make me, and the students, much happier ;-). Anyway -- I may or may not be blogging over the next few days, I will be continuing to run very easy -- with next Thursday being my first day "back" to retraining for my new marathon target. Happy Sunday bloggers, have a wonderful week!!! |
