Here are my splits, which were negative:
- Mile 1 - 9:46
- Mile 2 - 9:43
- Mile 3 - 9:00
- Mile 4 - 8:08 ("UNHHHH!")
- 0.01-mile nubbin - 0:03
Then I packed lunch in everyone's favorite OCD lunchbox:
(Carrot sticks, apples, grapes,sweet potato, turkey & spinach wrap)
I'm going to bed now. I don't plan on running in the morning because I'm going to go to the weekly speed sessions offered by the local running group (of which I am apparently a member).
P.S. For all you grad students out there, here is an interesting article that my TA sent out today. No joke, the opening line of the article is:
"GRADUATE education is the Detroit of higher learning."

Good gosh, lady. From a 9:00 mile to 8:08?! You are a (grunting) speed demon!
I love how Harrison is totally tuning out in the photo as if you taking pictures of yourself pointing at your butt is a very normal occurrence. Hahaha.
P.S. For your mango cutting woes.
Make me a lunch Mica. :P
speed workouts oh fun!
that last lap was a HUGE jump from the previous ones! and your ass looks hot in any type of shorts.
wow. i bet that article struck a few chords (either in class or in the online community). it's a very interesting point that he makes, though.
I need a better view of those shorts maam. That's a pretty lame excuse for a "display" dear. hehehehe
OH!! And fear NOT about the grunting noises, I sometimes hear even more disturbing noises in the gym....ones that come from a hole at the rear of your body...if you catch my drift. And THAT sucks way moreeee.
P.s. YES it's a deal that you are invited to re-enact your cookie video on the roof of my bf's new apartment. hahahah that sounds so sketch. But yeah, DEAL!
Cute red shorts!!!
fast mile! and again, the grapes are too cute.
Hey hot stuff! Liking those shorts!! But more impressed with those negative splits! Dayam girl! Great job! :-)
The writer is a bitter idealist. You don't go to one of the best programs in the country to not take part in academics.
Hyper-specialization is the necessary evolutionary tool that has come for continuous studies. No longer do generalities work, we need people to be more exact, more succinct, more everything. Specialization just happens when we get to the "already been done" part of studies.
I will try to make the speed workout tonight, just to see what it's all about. I may end up running there, taking a lap or two, and then running home. I really hope group meeting isn't ridiculously long tonight...:(
just wait until Friday morning, when all of your miles will be like that last one. :) what is on your base plan schedule? 6?
I salute your shorts, ma'am! That article was stupid. I still find the long-ass comments the most comical part....
speedy mcspeederson, huh? it's gotta be those red shorts.
interesting article. i agree with the part about underpaid grad students who do the work of the higher ups. however, i sincerely hope i have not wasted the last two years of my life. :-)
Well I guess he is making an appeal against (if I can say that) "spewing out mindless automatons," as Spike would say (Yes, I just quoted from "Buffy".). It really isn't that hostile an article and it seems as though he genuinely cares about the future of these students and wants to make sure that they gain the skills and resources to survive after having completed a PhD or whatever.
ohhh nice boo-tay shot :) And the shorts are pretty awesome too!
The booty shot adds a whole new dimension to the post.
Hope the speedwork out kicks your butt in a good way!
Cute butt!
haha is that weird to say? Anyways, I like those shorts.
And omg I grunt all the time, too, at the end of a hard run! It's embarrassing.
Good job on that last mile! Daaamn girl! I would say it's the shorts, but I think you're just getting faster and faster. Awesome!
I love the OCD lunch box.
oooh I love the red. might have to be my next colored purchase. :) nice run. way to be a speed demon that last mile!
That is definitely a grunty pace. Re: the article, there are certain points I agree with, but I used to abhor professors who pulled this kind of crap: "For many years, I have taught undergraduate courses in which students do not write traditional papers but develop analytic treatments in formats from hypertext and Web sites to films and video games." I could write a dissertation on the kinds of stupidity that thrives with such assignments, and under professors who are so eager to seem with-it and hip that they end up rewarding the laziest students. Whew. Diatribe over.
I love that lunch box. I want one. Where did you get it?
So basically this professor wants people to write dissertations in Power Point format about Twitter or porn.
A stupid fuck like him can say shit like that, why? BC HE HAS TENURE.
Nice work on the negative splits! You are getting so speedy!
Love the red shorts. I like to wear loud running clothes so people know I'm coming!
Spinach, sweet potato wraps...you must post the recipe!
i wanted to get those shorts! they had them on sale at sports authority here but did not have my size :( so sad. because you know i need a 15th pair of nike tempo track shorts lol
I just ate sweet potato, avocado and salsa wrap! YUMZ
Those shorts must be the secret to your speedy success!
Wow! Nice splits! I'm sure the bright red shorts did it!
Great butt shot!
Wearing red is scientifically proven to make you faster ;)
Yes! Must be the red shorts that make you so speedy! I like how Harrison isn't even paying attention in the background.
I'm going pass the article along to the grad student boyfriend...although I think he only has to teach for one semester, and I think he gave up all hope of being a professor, at least for now. "Other people are wayyy too smart for me," he says.
those shorts are HAWT. or maybe, it's just you.
