Today wasn't intended to be a hard day, but not a light or easy one either. The humidity this morning was absolutely out of control. I'm not as bothered by running mostly 9:00mpm based on the heat and the extreme humidity.

This should be the only thing I do today since tomorrow will mark an easy day.

I'm seriously considering hashing on Wednesday night. The Three Mile Island Full Moon HHH will be running a full moon hash in Harrisburg and it sounds interesting. Besides, I haven't hashed in over a year.

The last split that was almost 45 seconds faster than the last split for pace is problematic. It means I didn't go hard enough, if I can finish that strong. I also get about a 30 second break as I have to pass through the security checkpoint coming back into Carlisle Barracks.

These shoes are holding up, but it's definitely time to start thinking about new shoes to replace these as I don't think these shoes have much left on them. They're showing signs of heavy pronation, which is unfortunate. As much as I like them, that's an indicator that they're probably not for me.

The Weekend of Glum Movies continued yesterday as I finally got around to seeing Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. I'm not sure what about the movie bothered me more, the whole betrayal of the Jedi (to include the proverbial freaky-looking blue chick Jedi, who gets a grand total of about 10 seconds of screen time to include the execution-style shooting by her clones), or the concept (and brief footage) of Anakin Skywalker killing all the children in the Jedi.

I did like the Yoda fight scene. Never would've guessed he was all-digital based on the fluidity of his motion. He did look unbelievably bad-ass in that scene.
