7mi, 50:27 (7+/mi): Lake St. w/LSCC. Lovely run discussing the finer points of computer repair and basketball strategy.

7mi, 43:41 (6:14/mi): LS8. 4x(3min on/1min off). Easy fartlek to wake-up the legs. 10 degrees and windy didn't even feel that bad. Ran past a "Your Speed Is" radar on the first accel and was cruising between 11 and 12mph. So that was fun.

Day Off. Allow me to introduce a new unit of measurement: The Schrader. Used to quantify a level of fretting about the big, bad world, suffice to say that a single Schrader is an awful lot. So:
Schrader x the Meredith case. Basically, if the school district loses then our country is to race relations as this guy is to his girlfriend. I've got at least a Schrader's worth to say about all this, but for purposes of the training blog I'll keep it brief. Justices, Petitioners, et al, the phrase "seperate but equal is inherently unequal" does not describe a theory, it describes a condition. It is a condition fairly described as "inherently" unequal because of the long history of legally, socially, and economically enforced aparthied in the United States. It should scarcely be open for debate whether the same Constitution that contains the three-fifths clause still mandates affirmative measures to remedy past discrimination. To hold that voluntary efforts to such ends are unconstitutional would rest on tenuous legal theory, as well as upon a damning academic ignorance of the lived society shaped by our laws.

Windbriefs anyone? They're hard to find here in Madison. REI appears to have discontinued theirs. I'm still considering hitting the ski shops to find a replacement for mine.
The best price I can find online is a Helly Hansen at $20. (Google "Hurricane Windbrief") No bulk discount, but you get free shipping if you buy >$25. Rumor has it that Hooley runs without one. Anyone living in or coming through Madison that wants to get in on an order with me, I'd be happy to put you down for one. Protect your parts.
7 this am with H. JBR for arthritis 10k tomorrow. That should wrap up the year of racing. Stat for churchie: 27 races this year.
you're not wrong, church.
you've made a fine case for racial diversity as a compelling state interest. but do the programs in these cases exemplify the "narrow tailoring" necessary when distinguishing by race?
