Yesterday, Meg and I ran 3.2 miles as part of our plan to shake off the winter out-of-shapeness. That brought the year cumulative total to 9.0. We ran a pretty standard (for us) first mile, then picked up the pace for the second, finishing it in 8:15. I was proud of us for that! We held a nearly perfectly constant pace throughout that mile, too. The third mile we slowed back down. For me, slowing back down was a matter of desire and necessity. I'm way too out of shape to do back-to-back mile intervals, but that will change by mid-summer. For now, doing a mile interval is just a fun way to mix things up.
Totally different topic--I started my new job today. As with all first days at new jobs, there was a lot of information to take in in a short period of time. I think I caught most of it though. I'm feeling ready to jump in and get started. I'm excited about the range of things I may be able to do. I discovered today that there are ups and downs of having two offices. The benefit is that it is easier to partition my professional life into the work I get paid for and the work for my dissertation, because I complete the tasks in two different places. The down side is that all of my stuff--coffee maker, electric kettle, books, etc.-- is in one office and I'm in another. I started a list of small things to bring to the new office to make it more comfortable. It should be cozy in no time.

Glad to hear your first day went well. You will have to let me know where you are at over there. I know some people who work in administration.
