          Another broken record—this time by just a bit less than a second, 89 one-hundredths. I am struck again by the enormity of fractions of a second when you are running at full speed. During the sprint, I was consciously thinking about picking up my knees and running on my toes. I probably had near perfect form for a racehorse.

          How exciting!  I am back to breaking records. Ok, so those records were set only by me. And they are not like ‘all-time’ records. They are records for the fastest time since last spring.

          It seems that my legs are on the mend. I write such words in such imprecise terms because I am never truly sure that things have taken a permanent turn for the better. Maybe they will revert to their days of tightness and non-agility.  In actual fact, they are not all that loose now. But yesterday, as you can see, I ran the final sprint in a totally

          This was a night, or late evening, run through the park. Whatever it was, the park was dark and it was not overpopulated.  As I began, my thighs were not stressing me too much, but my knees were painful.  Now this is a new soreness, so I wasn’t too worried.  It was just temporary.

                So I’m not running at Don Bosco anymore, I’m back to the park near my apartment. It’s the location of the classic sprint that I first ran 6 years ago. As you can see by careful observation of the statistics that are part of this blog, the results painted by the classic sprint are inconsistent at best, but mostly a sad.

          No more fooling around. I’ve stopped this fantasy that my friend wants to do this. Dalilah’s progression is similar to many experiences of exercise wannabes. 
Last Monday—didn’t go because it was a holiday (those who don’t really want to exercise can find any excuse NOT to exercise).
