Started around 8:30 am. Ran from the house to Legacy Parkway Trail, out and back home. Beautiful weather with clear skies and temps between 50 to 60 degrees. Wore short sleeves, shorts and gloves. Carried small, hand held water bottle. Gu at miles 6, 10, and 14.5. Didn't feel warmed up until around mile 4, then pretty good until the tenth mile. Hit a pretty rough patch around mile 10, but knew that like the ravioli I ate last night, that I chased with a tall glass of chocolate milk, this too would pass. Struggled a bit until the last couple of miles, which were the fastest of the run.
Very happy to have run long today. Very happy it's done.
