It was pretty cool today so I went for a longer run in the afternoon.  I ran to Wal-Mart and back on the back roads.  It was a nice run and the longest I have gone in a while.  Total time was 50:34 (7:32/mile).

We traveled to Omaha to visit family yesterday, and I got out for a nice run this morning.  I enjoyed the abundant oxygen at an elevation 6000 ft below what I am used to, but the air was almost too thick with the humidity.  There was also too much pressure.  Other than that it was a great run.  It was nice to be back in the midwest.  Total time was 42:01 (7:38/mile).
