Got up early today with my son and took took out the telescopes. Both my 10 inch reflector and the apo chromat we went out with just before dawn at 4 AM. No pictures this morning, just some casual observations of Jupiter and it's moons. That was nice as we have not done this in a long time. Got a good view of it's cloud bands and moons but not much else just too much light and turbulence to get good enough resolution and most especially in the reflector. Grabbed some breakfast and then took off for a very hilly 20 miler. After warming up for an easy 5 miles it was then 5 miles at marathon pace through Dimple Dell and Old Danish road area. Another easy 5 miles at 6:45-7:30/min pace and then I started a progressive downhill charge onto 9400 south down through Quarry bend for 2.5 miles at 13:02, and then the last stretch home flattening out with the last 2 miles in 11:12. Cooldown and an ice bath while sipping my favorite recovery slurpee. Felt rather nipply this morning compared to what I'm used to. AM2-Easy 6 miles jogging. I know the "experts" say you should just rest after a long run. And they are mostly right. However I have other ideas on how that pattern should work and it comes with listening to my body over the years. Off to church. I love this afternoon schedule..
