Pacing

As the sun rises in the east, I head out for a tempo run around the lake, trying to lock in my planned marathon pace of 4:50 min/km. While I still have some aerobic base building to do, I feel increasingly confident that a sub 3:30 marathon will be possible in Beirut.

Today at work, I will have the same seminar again but with a new batch of students. As much as I appreciate the tradition of an old school literature seminar, I am increasingly convinced about the benefits of more participatory forms of learning, such as my gallery walk seminar on political ideologies which is coming up tomorrow.
