CIM Training Week 4, Day 2: 3 miles

You may have noticed that so far my Tuesday and Thursday runs have been 3 miles. This is part of Hal Higdon's Intermediate I program, of course. He specifies that they should be easy runs as well, but I've been having a hard time not running them at race pace. The runs that are to be done at race pace are the longer, Saturday runs, but I feel inclined to run these that pace as well. As the program progresses, I might feel differently.





Splits
Mile 1: 8:34
Mile 2: 8:39
Mile 3: 8:56

3 miles, 26:10, 8:44/mi average pace, 402 calories burned

I walked the last .19 mi back to work.

• 08:06:07: Me: "Do you get this error on any spreadsheet?" User: "No, just in Excel."
  
• 08:27:08: SAME USER called me back again, he couldn't use his arrows to go cell to cell. That's because his SCROLL LOCK was turned on.
  
• 08:27:17: This sure smells like Monday!
  
• 08:28:13: I asked him, why not just highlight with the mouse, to which I showed him. "How did you do that?"
  
• 08:28:28: I told him I held down the mouse button & dragged... so he did it... but pressed the RIGHT FREAKING BUTTON
  
• 08:28:57: Why can't users figure out that the assumed mouse button is the left one, if I mean the right one, I'll say so.
  
• 08:29:20: They always assume the right button for some reason.
  
• 08:31:27: For @ironbrandon: I just did a YouTube search for "braless running". It came up with "Run Right with Newton Running". @sirisaac

CIM Training Week 4, Day 1: Cross Training

Overall, today was a great day. At the gym, I got to watch the end of I Dream of Jeanie and an episode of The Cosby Show, all while listening to Pandora. The best part is I didn't have to hear the ladies on the elliptical machines next to me!

Nah, that's rude. I did have a good workout though. 45 minutes, 489 calories burned.
