The weather wasn't too inviting at first as we contemplated our Friday morning long run. Needed to get the long run done today since too much going on tomorrow. But we headed out and ended up having a great run. The rain/snow calmed down after the first few miles and we were able to get into a good groove after about 6 miles. Didn't have a particular course in mind, just sorta random. Just past mile 6 we were by the high school so we decided to run a few laps around the track. I thought it would be really boring, but surprisingly it kinda put me into a trance/meditation mode and I kinda enjoyed running round and around the track. Felt like auto-pilot running. Kim seemed to be feeling good too as she sneakily picked up the tempo as we went. Finished off running on the river trail and then up river bottoms and up heartbreak hill back home. Now time for a rest week and some R&R. 8:55/145 (nice to see that ave HR working its way down each week) |
