RIDE 20 miles in 90 mins, TGP
RUN 4 miles in 40 mins, Fo Pa
Really dark this morning, cloudy and misty and wet, and dark. The headlamps on until almost the end of the 2nd interval! Next week after the time change this will be different, but it will maybe be colder too. So BE and I not sure how much longer we'll keep going. I'm wanting to squeeze in as much as possible, since I started so late.
The run is now part of the 5x/week pattern, in my phase 2 running plan. I'm keeping Tues and Thurs the same, but adding short 2-4 mile runs on Weds and Sunday. Goal is mostly to increase frequency at first. Then add distance. So I'm holding at the low 20mpw range for now. Today's run altered because BE has a virtual 5K Friday morning, so we planned to run the 4.5 mile zoo loop on Thursday. This means that my midweek goal of 12 miles total is changing from 3.5-2-6.5 to a 4-4-4 sequence, as needed to hit 12 miles. Today I ran during the PCR gels, picking a different than usual course out along Oakland to Hampton, to the middle of FoPa, then back on Clayton. This is the 2nd time now that I've picked a non-standard course for a run - new for me!
I've had a song stuck in my head for a few weeks now, unexpectedly at K-pop song by BTS called Dynamite. I downloaded it for my birthday and forgot to mention it!
"Life is sweet as honey"

And I forgot to mention that song I happened to hear TWICE on my birthday -- Skin and Bones by Cage the Elephant. I figured it must be a new song to be repeated on the radio, but no, it's from 2019!
Close my eyes and drift into the silence
Barely see the ultraviolet
Slipped and fell into the deep end
Oh, the sidewalks shimmer just like diamonds
All the empty words were flying
Well, the heart was low but I never was alone
I never was aloneI've been running for so long
All that's left is skin and bones
Close my eyes and fight to carry on
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
If I stumble, will I fall?
If I fall I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love light guide me home
Let the love light guide me home
