Got up REAL early this morning, thanks to the cat, which woke up hackin' at 4 a.m. I hustled her onto the tile floor and stayed awake to see if I had to clean anything up. Nope, thank you. I laid awake for half a hour, then decided to get up, get dressed, and head out. I took my time, but was running by 5:15.
This was a 12 mile "long" run, so nice and easy was the rule. I ran at about a 10:04 min. pace for the first half and about 9:22 for the second half. I walked frequently, but not quite every mile. The temp was about 70, so not hot, but not really cool, either.
My first mile was 10:49, an excellent start to a long run. I took a strange route, first going west under the interstate and into Tuilleries shopping center, where I make a couple of loop, then ran a couple short loops on the Highway 45 trail. By the time I got back on the other side of the interstate again I was at 6.5 miles, so on that side I ran my usual route up to 72nd St. and back, finishing with about a quarter mile left to the house, which made for a nice cool-down walk.
The run ended a low-mileage week at 21.8 miles.
