For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.

Updates

~ Guy Hall

Yes, I was cray cray and went for a run this morning. Stats will be posted later.

The other update is about college. I saw my academic advisor today. He gave me the proposal guideline I’ll need to write for my bachelors. I’m blending my addiction studies with psychology. So I’m actually going to be attending two colleges. Well, sorta.

I’m supposed to write about where I came from, where I’m at, and where I want to go. That way the two colleges can suggest classes for my bachelors and any further academic courses afterwards.

I’m excited. I’m getting closer to my goal.

All in all a good day.

Do I or Don’t I?

~ Guy Hall

It’s 19 degrees outside with a wind of 11 mph. Do I go running or don’t I? I’m actually contemplating yes as the answer. I know. I know. I’m crazy. But it’s so fun.

Assignments Done!

~ Guy Hall

I had three response assignments needing to be done by 11:59 PM. And they are all now completed. I can rest for the remainder of the night.


Today’s Run

~ Guy Hall

Yeah, I paid for those days off. I have sore left thigh muscles. And my pace was way high. But that’s to be expected. There was between a quarter to a half of inch of snow on the pavement, plus I ran on the upper trail which also had thin ice covering over puddles of water and mud. These account for both the high pace and the sore muscles. But I’ll live – with the aid of some Aleve. Anyway, to the stats!


Running Break

~ Guy Hall

I needed to let my body fight off an illness. Not sure what it was, but it had me dragging. I struggled with sleep and I had little to no energy. So, I took 5 days off. I am going to bundle up and go for a run soon. Meanwhile, here are the stats from my last run.


This Outside My Window

I guess winter is here.

School Project Completed!

~ Guy Hall

I had to interview a teen between the ages of 13 and 17. As I’m a 57-year-old man, that age group is not one I interact with often. My choices were slim to none. But, one of those choices was my 17-year-old niece. The interview was around her online social media use. I managed to write a 3 and a half page (Arial, 12 pt font, double-spaced) paper. I feel pretty confident about how I did. Now, I have to read someone’s post for this week’s subject and write a response.

5 Days On

~ Guy Hall

I ended up with a stomach bug mid-week that kept me both off the pavement and home from work on Thursday. Even yesterday I still wasn’t 100%. Today, though, I felt up to a run. I chose a route that attacked elevation in the first mile and a half. Map and stats:

Note how steady my heart rate was despite the fluctuations in both pace and elevation.
