Update on my dissertation project:
-No response from human resources regarding recruitment of university staff -Meeting with contractor representatives revealed: -Most staff only work during academic year - therefore beginning earlier than late August is not possible -Shift change is mid afternoon (2-3 p.m.) - therefore a.m. and p.m. exercise times are not feasible -Would need shower facilities to make this attractive; contractor staff do not have access to recreation facilities Also, I finally checked out my inside alternative for activity on Sunday. I prefer outside activity/exercise but have had to respond to a lot of pressure regarding the heat in this area. This said, it has been the coldest spring I can recall and my prior experiences working at the pool suggest that we get maybe 4-6 weeks of very hot weather in mid summer. Based on my 3-4 years here, it rarely stays hot much after the beginning of the semester. I ended the pool season twice in very cool (not comfortable to get wet) weather. Still, the general sense is that it is very, very hot. Unfortunately, my initial impression of the inside alternative is not good. The surface is not particularly good for walking and definitely not good for jogging. It is probably harder than most of what we would encounter outdoors (other than sidewalk), so I think that it would not be good based on repetitive motion/overuse concerns. These are the latest 'curve balls' in my proposed project. The longer I think about it, the lack of decent outside exercise facilities on/near campus is a real disappointment. My prior university (Southern Mississippi) had multiple choices - one outside on campus, another across the street, and the inside track (which would require facility membership) was far superior to the one at my present university - smooth, had marked lanes, rubber surface, lots of windows and no leaking roof (when it rains the one here is a real challenge). I tend to have the impression that health/recreation are very low priorities at this campus based on investment in facilities. I guess I should amend that statement - spectator sports are very popular as recreation; participation is what is less popular.
