I did two-sets of run and walk this morning.
It is a combination of running and walking, and according to my training manual, I am supposed to keep the ratio of run and walk in 5 to 1. we had a So I did two sets of 10- mintues-run+2- mintues-walk.
This ratio depends on your pace. I never knew what pace I have per mile until we did a run last weekend. We had a three miles run and it was my first three miles run in last ten years, believe it or not! I manged to finish without stopping, because I had a running bady, Leslie, and I tried to keep up with her. I was bit surprised because I did better than I though I would, but honestly, I I felt like I just finished a marathon, by running just 3 miles. I just can't imagin myself running more than 20 miles!
In addition to this group training on weekends, we are supposed to do our own training on weekdays. We are expected to run 30-40 minutes twice a week, and I decided to do that on Tuesday and Thursday. I run about 30 mintutes on Tuesday and planning to extend it a little bit to 40 mintues run today, but when I woke up I was so sleepy and could not get up early enought to do 40 minutes run.
I was hopeing maybe I could run in the evening, but today I went to see the movie
"Inconvinient truth", and got home too late to run outside.
It is a very straighforward movie on environment, and Al Gore is the leading actor. Maybe he does not regard himself acting, because this film is basically his lecture on environment, with some side personal stories of Mr. Gore.
His slides were magnificent! It was well structured, had good attention- getting-components.
When I was in Japan I often had to give lecture or workshop, so I had made some- probably more than 20 times in last two years, maybe more- presentation on child labor etc. So, from my experience I could tell how hard he had worked on constructing all the slides. He also said in the movie that whenever he finds any obstacle that seems to hindering understanding of the audience, he trys to resolve it. I think that is a very correct attitude as a presenter to the general public, especially when you are trying to get the message across.
I better stop here- good night!
