Medium-long run. 5:06 am, 32°F, 40% humidity, winds calm. The sky was clear and I could see the waning gibbous moon, but it's overcast now. I took a new route today. It's about 2 1/2 miles to the temple from my house, so I ran around the temple and then back out to University, to Dry Creek, to Quebec, to County Line, and home. I normally do all my week-day runs in Douglas County, but this run was almost entirely in Arapahoe County. The roads are straighter there, but no less hilly. There were some good hills on this route. I kept the pace slow and easy because I'm still a little tired from Tuesday's run, and I have a marathon-pace long run on Saturday. AP: 9:42. Splits: 10:05, 9:55, 9:58, 9:59, 9:59, 9:45, 9:39, 9:40, 9:28, 9:18, 9:25, 9:12. When I had about 3 miles left, I stopped and called home to make sure that my 13-year-old son was up. My daughter answered and I asked her to wake him up. Apparently she tried but had a hard time waking him up. He should have left for school by the time I got home, but hadn't. He left shortly thereafter, but was probably late to school. This is a struggle I have on the days that I have longer runs in the morning. I can count on all of the kids to get up on time except for this one boy. He'll sleep through an alarm even if it's right by his head. I have to assign other kids to wake him up if I'm not home. Apparently my daughter was a little too timid about it today.
I haven't been commenting on blogs much during the day lately because it's hard for me to access the blog from work for some reason. Also, I've been busy at work.
