Bed of lettuce

It’s the weekend before the Brooklyn half.  Yesterday we ran 8.35 miles in a 13:10 pace.  Today we ran 3.35 miles in a 12:30 pace.  My iliacus problem is nagging at me.  I finally realized this morning that I am not lifting my left (problem) leg that same way I am lifting the other leg.  At home, I can’t replicate this problem, but in the park it was clear that I am not bending my left knee much and when I do I feel a twinge. It’s going to be tough to finish faster than last year.

I had a funny dream on Friday night. I dreamed that I was running the race around mile 10 running up the hill and all of a sudden a glazed doughnut appeared in my hand.  I was about to take a bite of the doughnut, but then I realized that I want to go faster than last year and I said, “I can’t go faster if I eat a glazed doughnut when I run!”  So it disappeared. Glad I fixed that.

It’s raining out. I love these chilly rainy Sundays–the park is quiet, people stay indoors, it’s a great day to read, rest, nap.

Meanwhile, this WordPress spell-check doesn’t recognize the word “doughnut” and it is driving me up a tree. “Donut” is OK, though…grr.  MS-Word recognizes both.  It’s a mystery.
