I feel like every week I say that if I get time over the weekend I am going to put in a long run. Well, consider it done. After waking up around 3:30 am Friday and not being able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours I headed out for the first long run I have put in since April. Not sure what motivated me. Maybe it was the fact that the new Runner's World was staring at me from the coffee table. What ever it was, I will take it.
When I headed out I was not sure how far I would go. My goal was to put in at least 5 miles at an easy pace. I ended up putting in 6 miles in 47:50.16. I am pretty happy with that. I do like the fact that I am now running around an 8 minute mile and calling that an easy pace. When we put in our nightly runs at work we are now hitting around a 7:30 - 7:45 mile.
I may try and put in another long run this weekend, but who knows. There is a lot of yard work that needs to be done around here now that the rain has stopped. Maybe it will even be warm enough to jump in the pool.
That's all I have for now.
Later
