My wife is going out of town this week so it is going to be a challenge to get in as much running as I would like.  Because of this, I decided to get in a few easy miles today.  My training volume has also been down lately due to illness so I wanted to make up for some of the missed miles.  It was warmer this morning than it has been lately so that made things a little less enjoyable.  Also, yesterday's race took a little more out of me than I thought.  I wasn't concerned about the pace at all.  Just took it nice and easy.  Now I have to try to figure out when I can get my running in for the next few days.  I have an 11 year old and two five year olds.  Is it safe to leave them home alone while I go running in the morning?  I would be home before they wake up but I'm not sure if I feel good about them being home alone.  Maybe I will just do a bunch of 2 mile loops so I am never too far from home.

Total Time: 1:23:51 (8:23/mile)

Based on my kids I would not venture too far from home but mostly because I would not feel comfortable. I would find a 1 or 2 mile loop that way you are near by. Especially if you tell the 11yr old what your plans are so that they know what to do if something happens or one of the younger ones wakes up and has any issues. It is not very fun running a short loop but it is better than not running. I have had to run a 1/2 mile loop 30 times once to get a 15 miler in.
