finally friday
i took the day off from running on thursday and headed outside for a noon-time junket today. temps were in the 50’s and it was a bit breezy. i headed toward the lake along a new route i learned on wednesday and then headed north. at 3 miles i turned around with about 23:30 elapsed. heading back, i got to head into the wind a bit more which wasn’t so bad considering the temperature. i made it back to campus with 6 miles covered in 46:30.
i do have a bit of an update on the gentleman who had a heart attack at the pettit center. turns out that he normally doesn’t run indoors. due to the 15 inches of snow we got on good friday, he too opted to run in the friendly confines of the pettit. the gentleman ended up recovering and the efforts taken by others – including my friend dana – are being credited with saving his life. the local newspaper is doing a story on the event. i’ll drop in a link when i see it published.
