Juliana Hatfield, “Perfection”
Odometer 3: 278.0mi
Z3 high.
First run in the
One of the notable things about being here is that the surface underlying the sand is mostly rock. There are some paved streets in the camp where I’m staging, but a lot of dirt roads. The air is, as to be expected, dry. I found that out the hard way when I was walking around yesterday feeling the heat and most notable, the 20-25mph wind that started drying my skin out.
Today started slow, about 9 minute pace, and by the end, I was averaging 8 minutes. Two contributors, perhaps: drinking a liter of Gatorade and eating a Hooah! Bar before starting. I won’t be doing that for the next one, though. I was burping up fruit punch and apple-cinnamon all the first half the run. Yay.
Some other songs that stick in my mind as I walk around:
- Cyndi Lauper, “True Colors.” I’m not sure why on this one, although I always really, really, really liked the lead guitar leitmotif on this song.
- Sonny
