3:30PM, 68F 40% humidity. My wife was suppose to come back from NYC yesterday but La Guardia was shut down due to weather. So this morning it was a huge caos there and she was sent to Charlotte. I drove down there to pick her up. Round trip it was almost 5 hours. So we came back close to noon and I had lunch. I waited till 3 till I felt that lunch has sank down and took a clif shot and drank 3/4 of propel and waited 20 minutes till that sank down. The run was 2 times the 6.4 course I sometime do, So I ran to the east campus did two loops there and came back and then did exactly the same again. The first 6.4 were at 48:36 (7:36 pace) and the second 6.4 were at 49:48 (7:47) So I definately faded a bit on the second part but both were good paces. I didn't do as well as I did last week but today it was about 15-20F warmer and I was after almost 5 hours of driving. I'm just cutting myself some slack here :-) I also did 35 seconds break between the two 6.4 runs during which I was drinking the 1/4 bottle of proppel that I left at the start point. If I add these 35 seconds I ran the 12.8 in 99 minutes (7:44 pace average). I'm happy.
1:38:24 (1:38:59 with break)
