I've decided that I'm not recovering properly from my 12 mile runs so this morning I went out planning to take it really easy. Started running down the main highway away from Redlodge. After about 1 mile I decided I really didn't like running down the side of the highway and wanted to find a new route, right then I saw a dirt road with a sign that said 3 miles "that way" to some ranch.. I thought perfect that will give me a total of 8 out and back so I followed that road. Turned out to be an excellent choice, the most absolutely perfect secluded dirt road you could imagine, open fields, a beautiful sunrise and perfect temperatures. It actually reminded me of running in Switzerland, very, very slow pace but I really enjoyed every minute of my run. 8 mile in 1:08 ~8:30 avg pace.
