Last Friday of Freedom
Since I start orientation on Tuesday, today was my last "free" Friday. It was not a very exciting day, but I was fine with that! Thus, this blog entry will be similarly brief and un-exciting.
I swam this morning and did a little pool-running on top of that. But I can't seem to get a rhythm down doing that--if it's even possible. All I know is I get my heart rate much higher by swimming continuously. The pool-running just gives me something else to do when I get sick of laps. Also, my groin is bothering me now and I'm wondering if my flailing motions when I try to simulate the running motion is doing something bad. Hmm.
I also went to the gym this afternoon, and I was surprised to get a call from Matt saying he was there, too, playing basketball. I tried to entice him to the weight room, but no dice. Someday I'll show him the light of turning skinniness into buffness!
I caught the 10,000 broadcast this afternoon and wasn't surprised to see what happened to Paula. I think it was courageous to try racing so soon after her marathon debacle, but I wonder if she psyched herself out before she even started. She could have run really conservatively for half the race or more and at least finished with a kick, even if it didn't get her a medal. Her hang-with-the-leaders strategy didn't seem like the best approach, but then again, she runs more than an hour faster in the marathon than I do :)
I'm going to post this before midnight so it counts as a post for today!

Becky,
Maybe I missed an earlier blog entry, but are you and your husband both starting grad school this fall? I know you said he's getting his MBA, if you're going what are you studying?

No, I don't think I mentioned it. I'm getting a master's in public health (not an MPH, an MS) at Harvard. Or at least I will be, starting next week! :)
