long weekend

[kismet09]

Had my first presentation for students yesterday - it's nice to have their energy back on campus. I'm home for my last work from home Friday today - it's move in for the freshmen, and they encourage everyone to not come and make the traffic patterns worse, and I'm happy to oblige.

Am vaguely doing c25k. I'm on week 3, and have been for awhile now, but I can't even follow those suggestions. I'm basically doing the drill (5 minute warm up, alternate 1.5 min jog/1.5 min walk and 3 min jog/3 min walk), and then adding one additional jog for as long as I can go without thinking I'm going to die (generally between 2 and 3 more minutes). It's kind of fun, though I'm getting bored with my songs.

We're supposed to get rain and/or wind this weekend from Hurricane Irene. UNH decided to change move-in day to Saturday rather than Sunday to try to get students here before the worst of the weather. It seems kind of surreal, since it's a perfectly beautiful late summer day today - sunny skies, mild. I've pulled out all of my rainy day music, and I plan to make gumbo today or tomorrow, which I've never made before. Sustained 65 mph winds currently forecast for Sunday. not even sure what that means for our house. Hurricanes in Maine...it should be an adventure.

am keeping my fingers crossed that all my Maine people will be all right.

do you listen to podcasts when you are doing the c25k drills? they are lifesavers for me because they just tell me what to do and when to do it.

stay dry and safe.

yeah - i have the app that tells me to run or walk as necessary. since i always run on the treadmill, it's pretty easy for me to follow the time - i'd imagine it's a very useful app for outdoor running.
