Notes
Temp 31 (27) Wind 4 mph.
Strength Circuits. Nice morning to run. Jog to Fred M. Morrow Stadium. Thought it was about 2.5 miles from house, but guessed wrong. 3.14 miles at 8:08 average pace. One lap on this track now feels a lot shorter than it was in junior high??
Two circuits of jump squats, springing, high-knees, bounding, and steps mixed in with several striders. Two police cars pull up to gate about half way through. Aw crap?!? Was told this would be no problem as long as I was done by 6:30 a.m. before school. Ask if I'm OK being out here. No problem, they are looking for a suspect and asked if I'd seen a guy on foot around here. No...but if there are two of them looking for him, not sure if this is the place to be?
Took a minute to check out school track and field records board. Interesting. A-Wad still has 1600 and 3200. Former New Orleans Saint DL Derland Moore's 1968 shot record still there. As is Scott Harrell's 1975 discus. Would have thought some of the bigger, stronger kids from the recent generations would have taken those down by now?
Took a different route back so that I could do a quick "drive-by" of the front row of The Money Lot. Had found a couple of pennies on the highway during the warm-up, and finished off a cycle with a quarter, three dimes, a nickel, and three more pennies. 2.74 miles at 7:49 average pace.
