Today I awarded the first of three term prizes, this one for improvement in the long run. Asilia and Vadim tied for first (by running 1:01 per mile faster than the first week). Brianna was the "bronze medalist" with a 38-second drop in pace.
For many of you, today was the last of these easy days this term. There’ll be another on Friday, but that one will serve a makeup day for anyone who needs it and an optional day for all others.
Wednesday’s run will take you back to where you started this class in distance: about 1.25 and 2.5 miles. Only now this qualifies as a “short” distance instead of the longest you could do.

LESSON 17: SUPPLEMENTAL SPORTS
You might not always be able to run... or might not always want to run... or might sometimes want to add activities to your running. Alternatives abound. You can bicycle, swim, “run” in water (wearing a flotation belt), cross-country ski, snowshoe or simply walk (one of the best but least appreciated options to running). In most of these activities, duplicate your running time to gain similar fitness benefits. If walking, double your usual running time.
