Day: November 1, 2006

It’s been six weeks since my last time on the track, and seven weeks since I last did 800m repeats. Yesterday morning, I joined Billy in the early morning at Kezar once more, and put in six 800m pieces, with 400m jogging between each one (plenty of rest).

We didn’t go after it early…the first few were conversational, literally. I pushed on the penultimate one, for the second lap. Then, after a shorter rest than before, I tackled the last one on my own.

In order…

The speed work is important to me right now, since my next scheduled race is Thanksgiving morning, when I do a one mile race, followed 30 minutes later by a 5K.

As noted on the OpenDNS corporate blog, David Pogue learned about OpenDNS, gave it a try, and loved it, according to what he wrote on his NYTimes.com blog today:

My wife and I are totally loving the new speed. Don’t tell Open DNS [sic], but we even would have paid for it.

Back in the day, I bought and read at least one entire books of Mac tips written by Pogue. Pretty nifty to have the combo of Pogue and the NYTimes tout OpenDNS.
