A record of my life updated at random times and for random reasons.

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

My final grades are in and I have completed my second masters with a 4.0 GPA.

I am also a member of the Beta Phi Mu Honor Society. This is a group that accepts library master students who achieve a 3.7 or higher GPA and cannot exceed 25% of the graduating class of any one year. It did cost me 100 bucks to get my lifetime membership, but some honors are worth it.

It is a beautiful morning. 58, sunny, no breeze. So wonderful that Carol is working outside. We had a great run this morning, though my hands turned blue in the cold. I printed out the map for my 5k on Saturday and checked the packet pickup time (Friday). I am a little nervous about the whole thing, but I am running on a circuit that I know quite well. Still feels a bit unreal, who would have expected me to sign up to run in a 5k. Back in the day I would have driven around the block 10 times to avoid walking across the street. The forecast for Saturday is 86 with some cloud. Overnight low from Friday should be 67, so at race start it should be 70 something, nice running weather. I will let you know how things went Saturday, maybe even add a photo of the race if I have one.
