First, current events, then run report (ooh, how exciting!).

First, on break, which is a blessing and a curse. Secondly, almost done with MQP.

The first days of break were great (and full of sleep). Tuesday, I was anti-social...probably the pent-up stress from MQP coming out at once. Sorry, everyone, it wasn't cool for me to do that.

Wednesday, I made one last crack at the thermal analysis for MQP. The first calculation gave me a very reasonable answer. Once I started the first segment...oi...something tells me that the system in question is NOT at a temperature of -3 000 000 000 000 Kelvin. This has been driving me nuts for weeks and weeks. So I finally just squirted an e-mail over to my partner that told her that no matter what, everything will melt. Then I drew a picture of it. I learned something from that experience: I am a terrible drawer. And not the kind you put clothes in, either.

Ok, run report. Temp was amazing, but it was cloudy and a little humid for my tastes. Went 2,6 miles in 20:16:07...which equates to an approximate pace of 7:48/mile, which is bad for me. I almost decided to go down the route for 3,5 miles, but am really glad I didn't, as at the end I was ready to toss my cookies (don't worry, they didn't get flipped).

First mile was pretty good, felt great to be outside. Second mile I upped the pace too much. Last 0,6 miles was a small challenge, but it wasn't that hard to push through. I think I can safely attribute my poor performance to my severe lack of hydration, as I've had precisely 5 glasses of water in the past 6 days. Compare that to 1-1,5 gallons, my normal daily intake of water.
