PM - due to a number of unexpected scheduling events today I had to delay my long run until this evening.  Using a method I have seen Rob use a few times, I planned my run where I was dropped off about 20 miles away from my house and had my daughter stash a gatorade at about the halfway mark.  Following evening worship service, I changed clothes at the church building and began my run home from Erlich Road about 1.5 miles west of Dale Mabry in Tampa.  I headed west to Gunn Hwy.  When I got to the Citrus Park area I made a turn onto the Upper Tampa Bay Trail - which I had never been on before.  Since I started the run at about 6:30 pm and the "feels like" temperature was still 95 degrees - the well shaded trail was a happy discovery about 2.5 miles into my run.  I stayed on it for about 3.5 miles until it intersected with Limbaugh and then headed west through West Chase and then through Oldsmar on Forest Lakes to Tampa Rd and back to my house.  Had to add a short loop to the end.  Felt reasonable good for most of the run - but after I got the gatorade (all of which I drank at once) I felt a little off for the rest of the run and was pretty tired at the end.
