Total Distance
10.12

Again, the farthest I have ran in 2 months!!!  YEAH!!  I took advantage of my parents being home and got up early to run daughter and stroller free.  I was going to run 4 out and 4 back, get some water and then do my usual 3 mile loop.  Didn't work out that way.  I felt really good at 4 and didn't want to turn around.  I get sick of out and backs sometimes, so I kept going.  There was a nice breeze so the temp felt good. 

I did the run in 20 minutes faster than the first 10 miles I ever ran ( about 4 or so months ago, can't remember).  Average pace was low 10's, slow but steady.
