6:10AM start, 60F, light wind, sunrise. I planed doing 7M but I felt really good and extended it to 8.4M. I am trying to control my pace and not go too fast in these long runs. I checked my watch and I actually did negative splits. The route was really nice. The first 1/3 was just smi-urban stting. the middle section was on the Americal Tobacco Trail (ATT). If you ever come to this part of the country you should check it out. The last part was hart residential part trail (part of the trail around Duke Golf course - another great running trail).
