I went for my second run since ’21 tonight, by the light of the full moon. I knew it was a Blue Moon, so I decided a picture was in order after my run was done.




It turns out not only is it a Blue Moon, it’s also a supermoon!
[This] full moon is a Supermoon; a Blue Moon; the Sturgeon Moon; the Red, Corn, Green Corn, Barley, Herb, Grain, or Dog Moon; Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi Purnima; and Tu B’Av.

As for my run:
- 3.11 miles
- 39:23
- more than 5 minutes shaved off of Saturday’s run
- Best pace 5’56” during the last 0.1 mile
I remembered to stretch both before and after my run. I also discovered Dave Brubeck Quartert’s 1961 Castilian Blues is a tad too mellow for the end of a run, but Gaelic Storm’s One More Day Above The Roses works quite alright, and the instrumental outtro that lasts just under a minute is pretty good for my end-of-run final 0.1 push.
Oh, and there was a cat stuck on a chain link fence as I was leaving the park that I helped get down.
