Good running weather
Week 2 of half-marathon training was successfully completed today with a 7-mile run in nearly perfect running weather. High 40′s, light sprinkle – it was lovely. The only downside was that I chose to run in a park that, when it rains a lot, can be entirely under water. It wasn’t entirely under water this time, but there were a lot of puddles and mud to splash through. Fun at first, but kind of a slog after about the 5-mile mark.
And I saw a gorgeous, pure-white heron of some sort. (Or it might have been an egret.) I thought it was a seagull at first as it came in for a landing, but it kept getting bigger and bigger as it approached, and there was no gray on it anywhere. It was a nice little pick-me-up.
