Wednesday

To keep from getting frostbite, I waited until 7:00 to run this morning. The temperature was up to 24 by then. It was a good uphill and downhill 3-mile run/walk in the same beautiful neighborhood that I ride through to class. I walked up hills and ran down hills and on the flats. It may take awhile for me to get to the point that I can run the whole way, but I'm up for it.

I spent the majority of the day reading and working problems with a mid-day break to go to Kroger, the grocery store. The economics text is actually very well written and I just may learn some accounting and economics because of that. I am having trouble with the linear programming problems. There are no solutions in the book and I have no confidence that I'm formulating them correctly. I never was very good at "word" problems, but I'm persevering.

Apparently word is out to the 4-legged community that I'm here. A young tabby cat showed up outside my door this afternoon, purring and rubbing against me--quite affectionate. No, I didn't bring her/him inside--wasn't sure how Coma would react.
