Decided to run from home to Grandma and Grandpa's house in North Bend for my first long run in 3 or 4 months. Went quite well...dropped in elevation from my house at 890 to about 450 at their place so that was one of the reasons I wanted to do it. Kept a nice easy pace the whole way and my HR stayed quite low. The wind was blowing like crazy and unfortunately it was against me the whole way, even down the big hill(Spirit Crusher as Sno calls it). It is Spirit Lifter when you get to go down it. Wind was super bad toward the end where the sno valley trail is and it just runs right down the trail as it's the only place for the wind to go. Ate some buttermilk pancakes, bacon, egg and a couple of dark chocolate reeses cups when I got there.
Avg. HR was 143 and Avg. Pace was 9:04
