Too Many Intervals

Oops. I figured out the hard way that 10 intervals set on my Garmin looks like this: 1a Run 1b Rest, 2a Run 2b Rest, and so on through 10a Run, 10b Rest. They do not look like this: 1 Run, 2 Rest, 3 Run, 4 Rest, and so on through 9 Run, 10 Rest. The second options is what I was supposed to do; the first is what I did.
  • 44:51 total; 581 calories; 4.88 miles; 9:11 pace; 165 HR

  • 2a, 2b: 1 min, 0.15 mi, 6:34 pace, 5:51 best (obviously downhill and on my favorite bridge); 1 min, 0.11 mi, 9:20 pace

  • 5a, 5b: 1 min, 0.13 mi, 7:28 pace, 6:42 best (pretty sure this was up the hill toward the turnaround); 1 min, 0.11 mi, 9:10 pace

I went over to Farkases' to say good bye to GR and GB. GB and Lauren and I threw the frisbee around for a while and then we all headed to Cold Stone for some ice cream. I hadn't really eaten dinner and was meeting Lisa at Mexicali, so even though I hadn't planned on dining I had to eat. It was a nice meal with Jack and Lisa, Larry (who I knew), and Jim, Kenneth, and Brian (all of whom I met). I got home at the same time as my neighbors Jason and Katie and so got to chat with them for a minute, which was nice. I rarely see them even though we live right next to each other!

I went out for Mexican food with a group of people. I don’t even remember hearing them say anything in Spanish, but maybe just being around Spanish-speaking people made me think about it. I definitely thought about ordering in Spanish (I know Will would have tried) but ended up not. I also thought about asking about the TV in Spanish (we were trying to get them to find Versus so we could watch the tour), but didn’t because they seemed to have understood us fine in English.
