Day 2: I feel the need for speed...and almost instantly regret it.

Zeke post-run.

After a pretty productive day at work spent saving ~$800 by staying in Econo Lodges and Best Westerns instead of Marriotts and Crowne Plazas (One would think this is an obvious way to save money, but you'd be surprised),  Molly picked me up so that 1) she could go to the YMCA and 2) I could take our baby monkey for a run.  

Day 2 is designed to "build speed," specifically, 1000-1600m at 10K pace followed by 400m periods of "rest."  Three intervals plus a cool down brought me to 5K:

First 1400m:  7:47

Second 1400m:  7:53

Final 1800m: 10:53  

1000m cool down...I'm embarrassed to say how long this took.

Now you can compare these values to your own 10K pace and recognize that you are a much better runner by comparison.  While I was dead by the end of the workout, Zeke still had plenty of energy.  

Tonight Molly left baby Monkey, baby Kitty, and I at home to have dinner and do some homework while she attended Unity Baptist Church's Titus Tuesday (men are next week--I did not skip Bible Study to loaf around at home).  While Zeke slept, Xeno helped me out with my fluids homework--thankfully he's much better at partial derivatives than I am.

Xeno's eyes positively light-up as he contemplates whether to use a Lagrangian or Eulerian problem solving approach.
