AM/Lunch: 9 miles, averaged 8:09. HR 152. Did some strides.
Megan took the boys to meet my mom at the manatee park. I taught my classes and snuck in a run between classes. I was planning to run, but I wasn't sure for how long or about a route. I was feeling kind of anxious, but I think I was just worried about getting done with classes so I could spend some quality time with family on our last day in Florida.
The route had no shoulder or sidewalk, so I ended up in the grass. I then went back toward the place we were staying and made a loop through the neighborhood that cut through on a path to the sidewalk on Del Prado and back into the neighborhood. It actually worked well and I felt good. It was only slightly humid and warm, but it was cloudy, which actually helped because I got a little warm as the sun was coming out. Did some strides and felt very fortunate to get some miles in by myself between classes in a new area. I do not get to run in new areas on vacation that much these days, so it felt like a blessing.
PM: 4 miles with Megan, averaged 10:22. HR 128.
We did the same route as the other day. The sun was out, but the air decently dry. It felt really good to get a second run in and another run with Megan. I cannot recall the last time we ran together twice on a break. We had a good evening with my family. The boys are pretty spent. We have to get up very early to get to the airport. I am not looking forward to going back to the snow and cold in Michigan.
