Anything New?
So, anything new this week?
I’m still running. About 3.5 miles three times a week. Right now, I’ve changed from doing one monolithic run for 36 minutes to four ten minute runs. That’s helping me stay mostly on track and keep my speed up. I think I wasn’t pushing myself hard enough for the leisurely pace of 3.5 miles in 36 minutes. (and when I did, I burned myself out too quickly). In fact, my most recent runs were 4 miles long. A little secret is that these 4 10s are the same as the first week of the “Bridge to 10K” — which I’m not super interested in (because it’s running for an hour) but if it gets my speed on the 5K down, that’s good. I’m going to do these 10s for at least this week and maybe next week do 3×15 minutes.
Miss K’s done with fall soccer. We’re talking about indoor soccer through the winter but we need to look at our schedule. It’s only one day a week, but the schedule we’ve been on has slowed us down on other fronts. But she really enjoys running around kicking the ball- and last game, she quite nearly ran the entire field and scored (but was blocked at the last moment).
Miss B’s grades continue to improve and her studies at the high school are interesting her; in particular German and Fine Arts. I’m hoping Biology and Geometry start engaging her soon. She’s not finding the English as challenging as she would like.
Ms B and I decided to skip the gym membership as we head into winter, and plan to get our Weight Watchers memberships back. The weight loss requires more focus and feedback than the continuing running (both are about equally as important overall).
We had a scare with my father in law, but he’s out of the cardiac-care unit and is recovering in a hospital room. He should be moving home this week.
