students are for pushing
So, after class, I discussed student projects with a few groups for almost roughly an hour, and then went running. Because Rachel (one of my students) said she was going, I thought “I should do that, too.” What with the new shoes and all, I thought I should use them.
So, I managed to jog out from campus towards town keeping pace with Rachel, but then needed to walk for a bit. She ran a fairly fast pace on the way out. (Read: way too fast for me at this stage!)
The first part of the run
She took off at 100m pace at that point, and soon had made the turn around in the town center and caught back up. I took off jogging again, and decided I could clear the campus gates, but probably not make it all the way back up the “hill” to campus.
The run back
It was 1.5 miles out and 1.25 miles back (according to Google), so that’s almost three miles of running. I feel reasonably good now, which I take as a good sign. It was a touch too much for the second time out in too long, but it could have been much worse. Mostly, that’s because I kept telling Rachel to slow down the whole way back…
Students are for pushing. Perhaps, sometimes, to get us out and off our bum.
(And I should probably get some reflective bits if I’m going to go jogging in the dark.)
Hi Sub,
but the most important thing about it is that you - like you said - feel good now
By the way: Google maps may be good, but go and pay a visit
to one of the friends from the Urban Sports Guerrilla called
GPSies.com - there you can even save your tracks.
Big greetings from Hamburg in Germany,

Ha — I read that title as in “… and shoving.”
