This week the management group at the business school had a day long planning session and talked about how well we had executed against last year's goals and then planned a new set of goals toe execute against in the 2014-15 academic year.
Yesterday's run was all about executing against a plan.
I have been getting a little more sleep recently. With 6-8 hours of sleep a night, it is amazing how much easier it is to make it through the day. Two days this week without a single issue with feeling drowsy during meetings. Now to work on getting that to 5 and then doing the same over the weekend so that I can make it through things like mass, concerts, children's performances, etc.
But anyway, I slept a little longer than usual, worked from 4:35-5:25 after doing some dishes. I realize that starting work at 4:35 after doing some dishes doesn't sound like a "late" start but when I had a chance to go to bed before 10 and then sleep till after 4 that gets me my 6+ hours of sleep rather than just 4-5. The 4-5 has to stop.
In any case, I didn't get out the door until just past 5:45 and then had to wait for my watch to connect to satellites. I started my run at 5:49. ANd I had one goal--finish by 6:45 so that I could get to my office as close to 8 as possible.
So, I ran my 7.2 miles and got back at about 6:47. That was a nice run. It took me over to Charles, out to Stevenson, over to Sherwood, and back across Overbrook to York before coming home. And I held 8 minute miles. So it was good.
Where did the 7.2 miles put me? At 492.2 miles total. Running along Kemper Rd. inside the I-275 beltway around Cincinnati. In Sharonville. Nearest church--St. Michael the Archangel. I've learned more about some traditions around St. Michael from my kids non-religious school that makes liberal use of secularized versions of both Jewish and Christian traditions in its curriculum than I ever did growing up. It is interesting how it all fits together.
