Fresh legs and fried rice

After staying away from running for a few days (1k on the gym treadmill yesterday does not count), my legs felt surprisingly poppy and light this morning as I went out on my usual 11-kilometre forest loop. Compared to the misery I felt after my first longer runs five years ago, I really think that the shorter recovery time is the biggest difference as I keep developing as an ultra-runner.

Otherwise, today has been all about statistics, first in the form of a Zoom exam review with the first-year students and then making slides that explain when to use crosstabulation, mean comparisons and regression analysis respectively for the second-year students. Considering how much stress I felt in the summer of 2023 in preparation for my first quantitative methodology classes, it is funny how these classes have become some of my favourite ones to teach and how I even brought the book along to read over some fried rice.
