(on the side note, I have never heard anyone use word "crossed". It is probably other Cambridge English expression that people do not use, like "learnt" (people here use learned))
I went to do my track workout but of course the track was closed again because of a game. How am I going to do this?
I tried to checked out the athletics schedule online but it does not make much sense. However, it seems that there is football game tomorrow and nothing over the weekend. But will the track be open over the weekend? It was during summer but now when the school has started...
So I do not know. Should I go to the trail tomorrow and do it there or give it one more try on Saturday. But if I wait until Saturday it is completely going to screw my biking schedule.
I need to think about it more. I am off to "ellipticate" since my run did not work out.

"Cross" and "learnt" are more British English than American English. I love "ellipticate," however - what else could one call it?
ReplyDeleteFinding a track is always tricky. I have almost a dozen within 10 miles, but they are all either in use (football, usually) or locked. I've had to resort to measuring my own course; to do it, you need a tape measure to measure the circumference of your bicycle's wheel, then you figure out how many tire rotations you need for 400 meters or a mile (or whatever you need) and measure the course by walking the bike over the course, counting revolutions each time the air valve is at the bottom.
Thanks for an advice! I do not have a tape measure:( But I have a bike computer and Garmin. So that would be my last resort.
ReplyDeleteTracks in the States are so awesome. Too bad that regular people cannot access them.
I am staying here only 2 more weeks, then going to school where I will be able to use a track at least until December.
