Great run this morning. I ran alone. Still no Dixie, he has had to do his runs very early due to his new job. He is serious about getting his runs and doing well at his upcoming marathon. I went to the Y, did some biking and stretching and core then got onto a treadmill. Did 4.18 miles at just under an 8:00 average pace. Headed outside where it was the warmest morning we've had in a while, mid 60's very humid but overcast and a slight breeze for cooling. Did my new favorite 6 mile out and back course. Felt really good throughout the run, starting off at 7:42 pace, had 3 miles in the middle at just under a 7:10 pace. Average pace (outside): 7:20
Returned home and did some stretching, some more core work, and 1 2-minute drill on perfect push ups. Rest day tomorrow and 16 miler on Saturday. I finally bought my planet ticket to get out to the Canyonlands half marathon in March. This time procrastination paid off and the price was lower then when I first started looking.
