Drowning?

Russ put me in the SwimEx pool today. I ran out of time and had to finish on the elliptical, then did 15 minutes on the bike just for good measure. Basically I ended up doing a mini, stationary triathlon. Back to running tomorrow, FOR REAL THIS TIME. Seriously.
The rest of the team looks good so far. Mostly everyone else is moving up through the training groups and getting faster. This weekend is our first real test of fitness: the alumni/high school meet. After that we should be able to more accurately tell where everyone's at.

Today was also the first day of classes. I'm already confused by Latin and World Religions seems like it may be more difficult than I originally thought. Parking was an absolute nightmare. I got to school around 9:15, only to discover that there was not a single open parking spot anywhere on campus. People were creating new parking lots in places where vehicles aren't normally supposed to be, such as the gravel area by the electrical equipment near the field house, and on the grass next to Wittenberg. I ended up just pretending that there was another space outside the yellow lines in the field house lot, and minutes later others had followed my trend and parked me in. Last year people complained about the parking because they couldn't get convenient spots close to their dorms; this year there literally aren't enough spaces for everyone during the day. If I weren't broken I would seriously consider running to class in the morning.
