Run: 10.5 mi
Core
------------------------------------------------------
Run--The plan called for a 9 mi run at planned marathon pace; I ran 8.8 mi slow tempo. I'm not really sure what pace that should be, so 7:45/mi sounded just fine to me. The left calf has a pretty bad knot, for some weird reason. Oh well, it's nothing a few cookies can't help! The wind was pretty bad at times, but the sunshine was absolutely amazing!!!
Nacho--I miss Nacho, our yellow lab, so much. Sadly we had to put him to sleep last June. My sister took a picture of him sitting in a cardboard box, and that pic sits on my nightstand next to my bed. It's the last thing I look at before I fall asleep. Nacho "visits" me on every run, I know it. I see at least one yellow lab that always look like he's smiling, giving me a little sign that Nacho told him to share a hello with me. Sometimes Nacho sends puppies or funny dogs my way. Today I saw a German Shepherd puppy and a ridiculously small chihuahua, which made me laugh. I also saw a golden retriever that I KNOW had talked with Nacho too. Thanks, Nacho, for being there for me today.
Perks--Being Jewish is odd sometimes. Saturday night the holiday of Purim begins, a holiday where we chant a really long story in Hebrew, use lots of loud noisemakers while the reader chants, eat lots of delicious triangle-shaped cookies, wear costumes, and drink so much that we can't tell the difference between major characters in the story. Who comes up with this stuff?! Our 'gogue puts on a full-blown musical in the midst of all of this, and I am singing in the chorus. Since the song we are performing is "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" from Hair rewritten for Purim, I will be standing next to the Torah scrolls in a bodysuit and hotpants. (I'll take pics! Ha ha!) Time to make some hamantaschen before Shabbat starts! I can't WAIT for rabbinical school!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about Nacho.
I just got my new run partner 2 months ago.
She is not quite ready for it yet.

So sorry to hear about your loss of your dog. I lost mine several years ago and have yet to fully recover. Perhaps we shouldn't be such softies.
