Comments: I ran ten miles, the first seven-and-a-half easy, the last two-and-a-half hard. I felt pretty good the whole way, probably because it was such a nice day. I wore a T-shirt and still felt warm.

Later, Angie and I met up with J-Glo for a bite and a beer at the Rock Bottom Brewery, then we caught a showing of The Aviator. I enjoyed the movie immensely, although it made me realize just how very little I knew about Howard Hughes. Later, I commented about the strange use of color in the film. It just seemed odd and out of place to me. Luckily, the world's most fantastic website, IMdB, provided the answer:

Martin Scorsese designed each year in the film to look just the way a color film from that time period would look. Achieved mainly through digitally enhanced postproduction, Scorsese recreated the look of Cinecolor and two-strip Technicolor. Watch in particular for the scene where Hughes meets Errol Flynn in the club. Hughes is served precisely placed peas on a plate, and they appear blue or turquoise - just as they'd have looked in the primitive two-strip Technicolor process. As Hughes ages throughout the film, the color gets more sophisticated and full-bodied.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
