It was a surprisingly nice morning for a long run. I expected a downpour, so I was very happy with 43 degrees and drizzly. That's almost spring-ish weather. I had planned on 16 with Jenny, but knew she would want 16.6 to give her 60 for the week. 60 sounds so much better than 59.4. Well, 16 turned into 18 when our last little loop ended up being longer than planned. I whined a lot the last couple miles. But, I'm glad that I did it. Marathon training made my body more amenable to long runs. They are much easier physically and mentally than they used to be. Our run was a nice rambling tour of Murray/Holladay. 7:19 average, which is pretty good considering our first three miles averaged out to about 7:50. It' s so hard to get the body moving.
