Looking forward to session #27 this evening, I'm shooting for the full-mile jog and today might be that day!
* * *
OK, it wasn't that day but it was still a kick-ass session: 3.3mi / 46m02s (4 sec over my best time); 3/4mi at 5.0mph (fastest 3-lap stretch yet), 1/2 lap at 7.0mph, another at 7.2mph (fastest half-lap yet).
7.2mph really forced me to kick up my heels. It was close to the end of the session, and I finished up feeling really pumped and pleased with myself.

Remember Mike Schuman? (How common is that name do you think?) Life took him from Clifton to U.Penn/Philly to Columbia University of NYC, to Forbes magazine, to WSJ, and now he's an Asia business correspondent for Time magazine. I happened to stumble across an online article with his byline, one containing the term "kerfuffle", and I said to myself... "Self," I said... seriously though, it had to be THAT Michael Schuman. The birthdate lines up, and the pic in his Time staff bio shows a face that's filled o...
