The candyman can
I have had this song in my head for far too long today. I'm not really sure where it came from; I haven't watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in a couple of years. Maybe it was the sunshine?
I lucked out this week—my second short run of the week was today and not only was the sun shining, but also it was 60 degrees outside. Downright balmy this time of year. I really needed the nice weather. I had a grueling cardio/strength class during lunch today, so I wasn't feeling like running. My quads were (and still are) begging to be left alone. But with the sun out, how can I skip a run? So I put in my four miles (in shorts!) and hopefully when I wake up in the morning I can still walk. Tomorrow's workout includes 30 minutes on a bike; my poor quads. Hopefully today's run helped get the lactic acid out from all the squats earlier in the day.
The run went great, as they usually do during a nice-weather spell. I even managed to hit a handful of lights on the walk signal all in a row. It's hard to go more than a mile in Seattle without having to stop for a light, so this was a welcome change. I doubt there are any stoplights during the half marathon.
Saturday brings six miles. Hope this nice weather returns Saturday morning. Hear that, Seattle weather gods? I need sunshine!

Yes, Stacy. The Candyman Can. What may you ask? And my guess is, the FBI would like to know too.
