So it looked like it was going to pour down in a huge thunderstorm and I really wanted to run outside today so I took the toll road and quickly got dressed with the goal of going for speed for possibly just 2 or 3 miles I ended up deciding to run a mile as fast as I could which turned out to be in 8 min and 5 seconds. Not too bad. That makes me feel like if I work on it I could definitely make it under 8 which has always felt kind of impossible to me in the past. Then I most walked the mile back home. It took me 15 minutes to walk/jog the 2nd mile home because it zapped so much of my energy to do that mile so quickly. I would love to be able to do a mile in less than 8 min and I also would like to be able to do 2 miles in 18 minutes which would also be a challenge to me.
In regards to the Vet. I decided on the Union Park one because I called each and they were pretty much the same price, Union Park $117 and University $115 but Union Park said on Tue and Th. they could take appointments as late as 6:15 and at University the latest appointmnet they could do is 5:15. I typically get home no earlier than 5:15 and would then have to corral the cat into the crate and get to the appointment so that is not feasible at all. I did consider that they are open on saturdays but both places in reviews did not recommend people going there on the weekend and I don't want that to be the only option. I figure give it a shot. If I am really unhappy with the vet I can always go to the other and plan that I would have to leave work a half hour early to get the appointment considering they shouldn't really need more appointments than once a year unless there is an issue.
In other news, I have started reading 1984 because it is on a lot of recommended reading lists and somehow didn't have to read it in school. It is up my alley of interests anways since it is about a future world which I like to read about. I'm ahead of schedule with my 50 books in a year goal so that is exciting!
Well, enough of that. I am going to get to some reading and cleaning!
I like this post. I'm excited about your fast mile! I feel like if you do some speed training, you could qualify for some awesome races. I know you don't really care about that, but stilll.... lol.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read 1984 since junior year of high school. I don't remember liking it though. haha.
