Workout:

• Long Run / 15.02 mi / 11:09
• This was an easy run which I am happy to report. Each two mile pace increased in speed. My final two miles were completed at a 9:46 pace. I could have continued running many more miles.
• On the donwside, this completed overall average pace was significantly slower than what I should be running. The training program that I am following states that my long run should be at a 10:29 pace. It is probably time that I turn more coaching supports onto my Garmin while training so that I don't coast like I did today. 
• I did not run yesterday since High School Graduations took place. All three high school graduations were held outside for the first time in the district's history. Let me just say that all three were FREEZING! I'm not sure why every high school girl decided to wear her summer sundress and high heel sandals under her gown, but I felt so bad for each of them. I was shivering and I had a winter coat on and covered myself in a blanket. Any way, I am always touched how each year, I have former first grade students send graduation tickets inviting me to their ceremonies and parties. I always attend because the idea that my impact remains with them for more than ten years is humbling and gratifying.  I never take these moments for granted.
