I'm using Hal Higdon's intermediate 1 schedule joining it at week 13. Today is a 5 mile run at a comfortable pace. I think that probably means about 8:45 miles for me.
The title says it all. I think the financial aid office must be overwhelmed because I wasn't the only one who was sweating how I was going to pay.

One of the problems with US healthcare is that we see ourselves as consumers of healthcare and not patients. This works to our advantage when the object is to minimize paternalistic/maternalistic explanations of choices. Not spending time explaining option is not the solution. On the other hand, a lot of expensive, unnecessary treatment happens because the healthcare system is unwilling to pushback against a customer.
My naval-gazing apparently has a fan who is, appropriately enough, an accountant. Anyway, an actual accounting was accomplished today as my taxed finally got filed. I've had them done for over 5 weeks, but was hoping that, before I filed, I could clear up the bureaucratic snafu that will likely have California deducting a parking fine and penalty from a ticket I already paid.
