i woke up wednesday morning with a righteous sore throat and cough. life makes such things worthwhile.

nobody feel sorry for me. my spoon makes me super-human (not in a nazi way though).

i made it to class way early, so i ran 2 x 400m at what i thought was a pretty good clip. took 4 minutes.

-- i just had a pretty kickass cough (11:29 pm), with spectacular results. thought you'd like to know. --

then rick a. (a master's student in kinesiology whom i've known as a running instructor for the past year) shows up and tells the class it's pre-test time. bear in mind this is our second meeting. maybe since i was 15 minutes late to the first class, i didn't hear the announcement. judging from the looks of shock, i think it was news to everyone else though. very cool. i probably would have been all nervous about it had i known. pre-test involves running 6 x 400m, which is roughly 99.2 percent of 1.5 miles.

he had us run a lap to warm up. so yay, i got about a three-quarter mile in before we had the test. as erich kartmann would say, "kickass!"

armed with a mind full of happy thoughts and a punky cd by some unknown band, i ran the thing in 10m06s.

happy anniversary!
