I looked at my Garmin activities page, and realized that after my since my 18 mile run on August 12, I have only done 1 run over 10 miles, that was 12 a couple weeks ago.  So I decided to mix it up today with some more miles.  I also biked 16.6 miles today.

 I biked 8.3 miles to Lake Lanier Islands at 15 mph.  I decided to explore a little to try to make the run more interesting ... I ran a couple miles of boat docks, on the golf course, roads, trails, through a campground, along the rocky shore line, and on some horse trails.  Variety kept me distracted, and sure enough I got in my planned 15.  I then rode 8.3 miles back at 15.7 mph.

Pretty good workout, I am tired!

This was a good workout! It makes my 2 mile run and 12.5 mile bike today seem pretty wimpy :-(

Nice 15, big day all together. You really did run up and down the docks!

Thanks guys. Yeah Joe, it was early in the run and I kept hoping someone was going to invite me out on their boat and get me out of the workout, but i just got a lot of strange looks! This is my new favorite place for long runs because of the variety, and you are always within a mile or 2 of a water fountain or cooler on golf course. Running on fairways is my favorite surface, but i did get yelled at by some old guys smoking cigars ... I just waved and kept running! :)

Nice run- looks like a fun route, or at least challenging so like you said that can keep you distracted in a good way.
