hawkwing_lbAchievements:
Two chapters Ehrman. .5 hours Greek, .5 hours Latin.
Running: 3.5 miles in 40 minutes, intervals, 6 minutes cool-down period. The first interval, was, however, a whole 10 minutes long, and I got my mile in 9:16, which goes to show that this system of training is actually working.
(The ambition is to eventually be able to run 5 miles inside 45 minutes, which is basically maintaining a continuous pace of 7mph for the whole way. That's probably at least a year off, though.)
(Maybe one day I'll be crazy enough to train for 10 miles inside an hour and a half. But not this year.)
Rowing: 3.1km in 15 minutes at maximum resistance. The rowing, we keep: it's having a better effect on my forearms and upper-body strength than weights ever have.
Weights, situps, stretching.
Two hours in the gym, and damn but I'm stiff now.
Caught some of the Olympics again. The women's 800m and the pole vault: kind of incredible. Fantastic athletes, those people.
