No zeros
this time, but I broke 1 minute. Very
cool. I was LESS stressed out today than
the previous two efforts. Maybe I was in
a generally good mood. Listened to Wait,
Wait—so nice that we can laugh at everything.
Ah,
ha!!! Zeros again! I was allowed, by my own rules, to run
up only 6 flights of stairs again
today. Even though I sprinted 3 tenths
of a second faster than yesterday, I was LESS out of breath and worn out. I think because I began the sprint today in a
bit less than full speed. I was simply
running at probably 95%.
I love to see
those zeros! I think I was the most
weary of any run after the mid-run sprint.
I started out very fast, putting everything into it. By the time I was finished, I was pulling the
ankles out of thick concrete. I wish I
could see myself as I finish—it feels like I am putzing along at a snail’s
pace. I knew I needed to run quickly,
.4 seconds
today meant that I had to run the full 16 flights in our apartment building. Ugh. I
certainly can’t blame people who necessitate dodging of pedestrians and dogs—there
were only two people on the entire sprint area.
I did think ,
Very
difficult today. I really struggled with
the leg ups. My gut was hurting. I missed being allowed to run only 6 flights
of stairs by 43 one-hundredths of a second.
You can’t even imagine .43 seconds.
It’s gone before you can organize your thoughts.
Ran only
the stairs one time today. I got outside
and I decided to wait until I could run an errand at the same time. Then things changed and I never got back
