Note
Getting back in the swing of going to movies, went to The King's Speech this evening. Totally enjoyed it, although not a whole lot happens. And it's amazing, it gets an R rating for a few cuss words, whereas blowing up lots of people is more acceptable.
I was listening to a Fresh Air piece this morning at the track, movie reviewer for NPR with his take on the best of last year, top of the list was Winter Bone. Hadn't seen many of his top 10, but had seen this one, and loved it. But he said it wouldn't get any of the awards, and mentioned The King's Speech as a sure bet for Oscars. Not that I would know, the people in the movie business see these things with a whole different eye than I do.
(Similarly, I was reading an article in The New Yorker about a fashion designer. Quite a remarkable talent. Some people's brains just work in a completely different way than mine does.)

7 AM
track 9:03 1.0 mi (9:03 / mi)
ahr:138 max:154 shoes: saloman
Indoor track at Smith College, just me and a couple of walkers, very nice. Took a while to get any oil in the joints.
track 16:44 2.13 mi (7:51 / mi)
ahr:154 max:170 weight:139.5lbs shoes: saloman
A set of Bricker intervals (planned 8 x 400, did 6). Based on my recent 5K pace of about 7:20, I figured 7 minute pace (i.e. 1:45) would be about right. Certainly glad I wasn't trying to go faster. Only mitigating factor was I had my heavy shoes on.
1:47.2, 1:15 (for a slow 200)
1:45.8, 1:15
1:41.3, 1:19
1:45.1, 1:15
1:43.5, 1:15
1:41.3
It occurred to me at some point that no matter what training I do, I've gotten so slow that my orienteering may forever suck, but I banished that thought quickly. Got to start someplace.

track 8:57 1.0 mi (8:57 / mi)

And a little more, with heavy legs.
