Counting the laps
In the pool this morning, I tried to think constructive thoughts. For example, I have a paper topic to think of, so I spent maybe 7 seconds thinking about that. Then I thought about all of the things I wanted to do today (3 seconds.) Then I realized I had a song in my head, so that occupied a few...moments. So much for constructive, but at least I was occupying myself.
And so on, and so on, until I was done. Doesn't it sound thrilling? There were two MIT distance runners pool running in the other half of my lane. I've seen a lot of them in the pool lately and those who I have asked say they are injured. Hmm. Maybe they all did too much mileage over the summer or something. (It's not like I accost them when I see them; being a public health student, I'm just doing an informal survey of running injuries :)
I quickly did some elliptical-ing tonight and dashed home (well, via the bus) since I have something to finish for tomorrow. My family is coming to Boston for Rosh Hashana tomorrow (family tradition calls for celebrating at my grandparents' house in the area) and I want to have time to hang out with them, at least for a few hours.
