Ran from Foxwood over to the new trail by way of Fox Hollow, then headed north and continued on Starkey Blvd bike trail (but made a small detour by the Longleaf pool to grab some water from the fountain).
On the return trip, once I crossed SR54 after stopping at the light, I wanted to get back on pace but ended up running faster than the old pace, so just went with it. So, last 3 miles were 7:49, 7:45, and 7:23 which brought the average pace down from 8:35 (what it was while about to cross 54) to 8:23 for the final pace. Felt good to just pick up those last miles for fun without having to concentrate on hitting a specific pace.
After the run, helped Andy put away the Christmas decorations, boxed up and into the attic. This is probable record time for me to take down the decorations. I've been know to leave them up until February when I run out of excuses for not putting them away. Andy is a bit more organized than I am.
