Medium-long run at an easy pace. 6:32 pm, 60-39°F, 15-43% humidity, wind 3 SE. I stayed up way too late last night for no good reason and I couldn't face getting up to run after 4 hours of sleep, so I slept until time to drive Thing 2 to seminary, then when I got back from doing that, I went back to sleep until it was time to drive Thing 1 and his bass to school about 1/2 hour later. I couldn't run then because I had to get my daughter off to school. I might have run during work hours, but instead I spent the morning getting the rear windshield wiper fixed on my car (I broke it off with the garage door a while ago). It looks like we might have bad weather for the drive to Utah on Friday, and I didn't want to do it without a rear windshield wiper. After spending all morning at the car dealership, I had to work in the afternoon, then I had to take my daughter to her piano lesson. After her lesson, I talked to Michelle, who is her piano teacher, and that talk motivated me to go running. So I picked up some dinner for the family on my way home, and then got dressed and headed out. When I was getting ready to go out, my daughter wanted to come run with me. So I did a half-mile loop with her, but I paused my watch during the part we walked and ended up running about 1/3 of a mile with her. Then she went back in the house and I continued with my run.
It was still light and warm when I started out. I wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, but I also took this opportunity to try out the arm sleeves that I bought last weekend to wear during the race on Saturday. They worked will but during parts of my run, particularly when running through open spaces, I was wishing for long pants and gloves. AP: 9:36. Splits: 10:14, 9:10, 9:37, 9:37, 9:44, 9:30, 9:53 (my favorite hill on South Quebec St. approaching MacArthur Ranch Rd.), 9:30, 9:15, 9:26, 9:24, 9:45, 9:45, 9:33.
