2 mile run, job

Published by matt at 22:38 under ,

It was an absolutely beautiful day today, so Carrie and I went over to Lake Waban on Wellesley’s campus to exercise. I managed a two mile run, and could have completed the circuit if I had known how close I was. (Oh, the mental games…)

This was partially just to get out and run, and partially because I hadn’t done any exercise for a week. In the back of my mind, I’m considering doing a 5K in two weeks, and wondered if I could run three miles. What I discovered is that I’d probably be pressed to do another mile at the pace I was running… however, if I learn to run a little slower, it should be very doable. The two miles felt good, though, so it should mostly be a matter of pacing.

In other news, I will be starting a tenure-track position in the Department of Computer Science at Allegheny College this coming academic year.

One of today’s two events has been been grossly downplayed in this blog post. :) Looking back at the post I has a job II, I had a great deal more to say about Olin than I’ve said here about Allegheny. I promise to rectify this shortly—Carrie and I both think this is an absolutely wonderful move, I’m excited about joining the CS department, and will be glad to be back near family. There is much more to be said, and time enough to say it in.

    Congratulations on the job! Pretty much all the people in my family who didn’t go to Kenyon went to Allegheny. Except that one who went to Duke, but we don’t speak of that *grin*
