1:12:18 169/178 7:46 per mile average. It was raining hard so I went to the Sports Academy where 13 laps is a mile (I hope.) 7:37.7 average for middle 7 miles.

The track at the Sports Academy goes around a basketball court and all of the treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, etc. Anyone using any of these machines gets to watch the people running on the track. I've spent a lot of time on the treadmill (last winter) so I've seen everyone running counter-clock wise around the track. I didn't really like the thought of always making the sharp 90 degree turns to the left. I thought if I ever ran on the track, I would alternate directions each day I ran. Well, apparently someone else thought the same thing - there is a sign at the first turn CCW and CW (two signs) that say: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday run counter clockwise and on Tuesday and Thursday run clockwise. Saturday and Sunday - You choose! Well, you can imagine how irritated people were when they started running (after me, by the way) and found that I was running the opposite direction. So instead of me passing them every 5-10 laps, I passed them twice per lap. I admit that I was going the "wrong" way compared to everyone I've seen run, but I was just doing what the sign says as a courtesy to the literate people in the building. I'll bet most of these people vote today but don't have any idea what the candidates think or what the propositions mean.
