Auntie Em Goes Running

Long run today, but I'm going to split it into two one hour segments, just to make all is OK with the knee.  I completed one segment at AP of 9:24 (9:23, 9:23, 8:57, 10:47, 8:54, 8:45, 10:09).  6.25 miles.  All felt great!  In fact, better than great.  It was cool and overcast this morning, felt kinda good.  I saw fox in the ravine at Arroyo Park; I have never seen one in there before.  Followed Dr. advice and ditched the trail shoes, even though parts of the trail this morning were technical.  The Brooks Launch actually feel incredibly stable for a lighter trainer anyway.  Maybe TOO much shoe.

I went immediately to yoga, then home to wolf down some food and get to work!  I'll run the other hour this afternoon at 3:30. 

Update for pm run: AP was 9:23 over 5.46 miles.  AP this morning was 9:24, so I am very consistent today.  I drove my daughter to an elementary school where some of the Girls on the Run girls were doing their practice 5K, so she could meet them and talk with them.  While she was doing that, I went for a run in a new neighborhood!  It was very pretty along the lake, very hilly (long hills), and all pavement.  That's a lot of pavement for me.  It was an OK run, knee did fine.  I am glad I decided to break this long into two pieces, though.  At one point, when I was almost at the top of a long, long hill, I noticed a police officer with two kids; he was showing them how the radar speed gun works.  One of the kids pointed it at me trying to get my speed!  I asked him not to tell me I was going too fast.
