My mistake! Blame it on post-travel letdown or
too many confusing numbers, but I misstated the shorter-distance’s turnaround
point today. It wasn’t “2.75.” Not seeing that one at 2.5, you kept looking for
it… then not finding it, you turned back at 2.25. The result was a half-mile
added to the scheduled distance. As an apology, I’m giving extra credit to everyone who went
farther than intended today.
Keep an eye on your absences as we enter the
second half of this class. You’re allowed four. Speaking of attendance, this
was the first time this term when that was perfect. Thank you.
Tuesday will bring another easy half-hour day.
Meet as we did today, at the 15th Avenue gate to the turf fields.
This avoids conflicts with the lacrosse camp, which continues there through
Thursday.

LESSON 11:
GETTING SICK
Take illness symptoms as seriously as those of injury. But instead of using pain as a guide, substitute the words fever and fatigue. The most common ailments are the flu and colds. Never, ever run with the flu’s fever. Don’t just rest while feverish but take an additional day off for each day of the illness, or you risk serious complications. Colds are more mundane – and more common. They usually pass through you in about a week. Rest during the “coming-on” stage (usually the first two to four days). Then run easily (slowly enough not to cause heavy coughing and nose-throat irritation) during the “coming-out” stage.
