Another 26.2

A pleasant morning, sunny and calm. Quite a few people out. Cooler than last Saturday, of course, but I can't complain. =)

Couldn't resist running another day in this gorgeous sun, even though I usually never run two days in a row.

I finally figured out the new U2 song: it's a running song. =)

It all works for me now. Even the multiple bridges that didn't seem to go anywhere. It's a mash-up, which I'm familiar with on the web — but this is an aural mash-up of grander proportions than I first appreciated.

Like all great music, I guess, it just takes a while to grow on you. This definitely has depth, has a lot going on, and certainly benefits from repeat listens.

Meet me in the sound.

Very nice day for running, considering the temp (10F). The sun helped, and softened the snow on the paths enough to make it tacky. A few icy patches were gingerly navigated, but other than that, nice pathways and a pleasant run. Bonus: enjoying seeing all of the people and kites at the Lake Harriet Kite Festival.

And I just noticed that mileage-wise, I'm one week ahead of where I was last year. Cool!

I haven't run outdoors for a while due to the icy conditions, but it's not getting any better so thought I should venture out and give it a try anyway (and before more snow flies later today).

I stayed off sidewalks as much as possible. The trail around Harriet was in pretty bad shape, but I still survived. Not as enjoyable as usual, but still nice to run outdoors again; even a poor run outdoors is better than the treadmill.
