Trifecta
6: hours I have spent reading Paula Radcliffe’s book
1: hour I spent researching the possibility of swimming
5: number of times I have stretched my hamstring so far today
1: number of times I heard the mouse last night
1: number of Kentucky Derby parties I am attending
1: number of horse racing phrases I know
A lot: amount of sit-ups, planks, and back exercises I did today
0/31: Pages written for the third week of May
Also of note is that the trainer for my core class at the gym seems to have gone through some sort of training himself. For the first time he started walking around the room observing people and vocally encouraging students. “Nice job.” “Good form.” “Nice control.” We also did some new exercises this week. It was a marked difference from his usual style. Hey…now that I am sitting here thinking about it, one of the other trainers from the gym DID attend the class last Saturday as a student. Maybe he got some feedback. Anyway, it’s interesting in any situation to actually see the immediate effects of any training/feedback. People spend a lot of time and money trying to prove interventions in different situations actually work-and I totally feel like this one did! (I really think he must have had some training or feedback. Just my hunch here.)

Nice entry--I like the quantitative bent. I have been equally unproductive today, my computer crashed last night and I've been at the apple store! OY!
