Sunny D??

"D" as in "disposition" as in "will it ever happen to me"??

Ahhh, I exaggerate...a bit! Most of the day was fine. It's always tedious to work for hours on the computer waiting for things to warm up enough to go outside, but it was necessary, and I did go outside. I did a run: 20 minutes warm-up; stop and stretch; then I did 4 x 2 min. max. sustainable efforts with 1 min. recovery. In the latter part of the run I did some strides--and ran up Sadie's Hill (however slowly I may have done it). End result: 55 minutes, 5.16 miles, 11.1 pace. AHR 163 MHR 184.

...on a related note: my HRM strap is killing me. No sooner did I get the old blister healed than it's rubbed a new blister! I've been using Body Glide but aparently to no avail. I examined the strap afterward and can see no flaw that could account for it. So my next conclusion is maybe it has something to do with the sports bra. Maybe I need to try a new variety. (Under Armour has been my choice thus far.)

I came in after the run, stretched, did crunches, planks, and other core work, plus a few feeble sets with hand weights. Then I ate and cleaned up...and at again! Worked on the computer more, then finally had to bite the bullet and drive to town for a single, silly syllabus meeting. (A little alliteration if you please!!) My colleagues can be so...disorganized? Complaining in a meeting is a waste of time. You're there already, so you might as well be as efficient and effective as possible on the task at hand so you can leave!! Rrggghhh.....

Then? Back home...by way of Mickey D. :( I know, I know! I'm bad. But it's hard to drive and eat a salad!

Not long after I got home my cell phone rang. It was Chip, my club president. He'd just gotten out of the student senate meeting and was very upset (relatively speaking--he's pretty unflappable) to have found that SSFAC proposals were due TODAY and he knew nothing about it. I said I knew nothing about it--no e-mails, nothing. I promised I would shoot Vincent an e-mail and find out what's up, but I doubt I'll hear back soon. He's probably off to that conference in Austin. I fully accept I may have missed something obvious, but if this was a failure of the Student Senate to give proper notification, then I expect to be given due consideration and a second chance. (You don't put these proposals together overnight.) Then again, if we miss it we miss it. Nothing to be done.

****Well, speak of him and he will call! Vincent just called and there was a miscommunication but that will not be a deal-breaker. That's good to know.
