Finally a halfway decent run! My legs felt almost normal and nothing hurt. But I was still feeling sluggish. Today was supposed to be a fartlek run and every time I went to speed up, I just didn't feel like I was going very fast (and my watch confirmed that). Usually during my fartlek sprints, I am going about 7:45 and today that was well over 8. Average pace for the 6 miles today was 8:51. I am happy with that and glad that my legs are feeling better because I want to be ready for 20 on Sunday!
Today's run was pretty cool because the whole run was lit by a full moon. And yes in happyland, there are two moons!! :P (Actually that lower light is a street light but it looks cool here. Like a second moon with 2 satellites orbiting it!)
And I'm still trying to figure out the flash in my new phone. When it's totally dark outside, it overexposes the pictures. But I sure was feeling happy after finally having a good run. And I liked my new shirt. Very comfy but I won't be able to wear it much longer since it's getting cold. Guess that's why it was on clearance.
And I laughed when I looked at my feet this morning. I took the toenail polish off of my toes to discover this. So awful! I mean so bad that I'm embarrassed to even go get a pedicure. I currently have all toenails but not for long. Look at that black one! And there's one almost as bad on the other foot. And my big toe isn't great. Maybe with Halloween so close I'll just paint them all black and no one will ever know. But I can't cover up that blister. But the good news is that my new shoes fit much better than the pair I had for 2 weeks and I don't think I'll be losing any more.
Have I ever posted this cartoon? Cracks me up! ... "Toenail Status Form!!!" How can you NOT laugh at that?!
Tomorrow is an easy 4 miles. Looking forward to that but hoping it doesn't rain on me.
