I like this photo because it’s like a Neapolitan ice cream of beach colors. I took it on Taynisha’s birthday.
Fall has arrived but it’s still pretty warm. Warm enough to be at the beach. It cooled off a little today though. Enough to make my run this morning much more pleasant than the past few Sundays. 11 miles at 9:45 pace. Last night after work was 5 at 8:45 pace. Next Sunday will be 12 miles and the following Sunday is the race. Yeah I haven’t mentioned that I’m doing a half marathon in a couple of weeks because, I’m never here. But I thought, here’s a way I can trick myself into posting a few more times before the end of the year — write a short post before the race and then hopefully feel obliged to write a post describing my race. I hope to run 9:00 pace, which was the pace I ran for my first half like 12 years ago. It is what it is. I might be slightly better than 9/mile. I’m gonna f!$kn try. Ordered a pair of shoes for the race today. Feeling myself a little. Getting excited.
