1/2 Marathon Training: Week 2, Run 3
Today's third run of the week was scheduled to be 35 minutes. It only lasted 20. Oops!
It was almost 80 degrees outside, which in some months would be mild and fantastic, but I think I've been spoiled by the somewhat cooler temps lately because it felt like approximately one million degrees when pounding the pavement in the full sun.
Even Zuko was slowed down by it and didn't seem to be enjoying himself as much as usual. I started feeling really barfy and almost like I was going to pass out by 2 miles in, so we just walked the rest of the way home (about 1.5 miles). Part of my feeling of sun-stroked parched-ness might have been attributable to the many slices of lemon rosemary bread purchased at the farmer's market this morning that I consumed prior to the run. Oh well!
My average pace was 10:20-minute miles. I don't know how I keep ending up in the tens, but alright!

Highlight of the Run: Big, beautiful white pelicans! They make me very happy.

Oh, Eliza, what have you done? I now have Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog winging its way to me via Netflix, and I've gone and purchased the soundtrack without seeing the movie! (I checked it out on iTunes, and how? How! How could I have missed out on this?)
Glad you're doing well. Kick butt with those 10 minute miles, ma'am!
Sithean: It makes me so happy that I played a role in bring Dr. Horrible into your life! It is beyond, beyond, beyond. You will love it.
Thanks for the moral support!
