Mile in 5:30 => Div III New Englands

I ran at BU. I ran faster than 5:32.87, so I qualified for Div IIIs. I lapped someone twice. At the end of the race, I could not see. That was not all that happened. Next week I will run the mile again.

Another PR: 13 seconds but no qualification

I earned my first point for Williams this weekend. I did not achieve my goal of a 23-second PR to run under 11:00 and qualify for Div IIIs, but I did have a 13-second PR, so I can't complain.

There were 13 people after that in the race but I have omitted them from this list.

I will continue to work hard, train hard, and run ever faster.

Identify this

There are two objects to identify. The first three pictures are of the first; the next three pictures are of the second. If you can identify it other than "a knot made out of straws and dental floss for your thesis" in a mathematically intelligent way, you get a prize, like a pipe cleaner or something.

A new PR in the mile

I ran 5:37.35 at Reggie Lewis on Friday night. This breaks my old PR of 5:45.6 set in senior year of high school at the Exeter/Andover meet. It also improves significantly on my 5:48 of two weeks ago at Williams. So I am pretty pleased with that. I will continue to work hard and keep improving.
