I did not think this run would be great but I knew things could change. First obstacle was a tree blocking the road right near the parking lot where I usually park, so had to walk around that. I started about 7:30 because it was such a nice morning and no reason to beat the heat. Was looking for at least 9 miles to make sure I got at least 40 miles for the week.
First mile was slow with tired heavy legs. By the time of about the third mile was feeling better. 4-7 were all pretty good, especially once I hit the turnaround at 5.5ish miles. Mile 8 was just under 8:00, then I did 7:29, 7:15, and last full mile at 6:42. There was a breeze which was a head wind on the way back but it felt nice and kept me cool and I didn't mind the extra effort.
Said hi to the few remaining Striders at the shelter and had a small cup of coffee.
Going to meet with the florist today with Jessica (and her kids and her Mom). We booked a place for our wedding and date is now set for June 25th - this year!
