because you're probably wanting a follow-up report

i went to the thing at the place and it was okay. there were people and all and they did some talking - actually too much talking - and then we went for a run. we did what they call 5-and-1 for the most part and it worked out well for me because my overall time was faster than my average overall time and although i'm a bit tired now i don't feel totally wasted. the thing about the pacing though is that it's difficult to do that alone - to keep up the pace - because of all the mind drifting and lack of focus. i met a few people but it's not like we were exchanging phone numbers or anything. this is not the sort of thing you solve in one morning. it's going to take some time.
