Finally! Ran over ten miles, will call this a long run even though not too long ago this would be a medium long run. Ran from my house out to the Tamarind nbhd exit, along Trinity Blvd to the Starkey gap trail. There was a guy walking on the road while I was in the ditch. After I was on the trail I heard footsteps running up behind me. It was the guy who had been walking was now running. He was a maybe a little bit older than me. As he passed me, asked if I was coming back from an injury "because when I see you, you are usually sprinting". I slowly gained some speed and eventually the guy was not disappearing but as I reached SR54, he had already turned back so I did not end up catching him.
Ran up Starkey Blvd, past the entrance to Starkey Ranch. I turned right into Heartwood Preserve, did a small loop on a trail there. There was a funeral going on toward the cemetary side.
By the time I reached Longleaf, decided I wanted something besides fountain water. Fortunately I had some money on me, so went into Havana Dreamer's and bought a can of Iron Beer soda and also filled my handheld with ice. Nice treat.
Back out on the road, crossed over SR54 and soon made it home.
