Nice relaxed long run today. I heard rain falling when I woke up and wasn't feeling too eager to run double-digit miles in nasty weather. But turns out we lucked out and the rain was just finishing up before we started and it ended up being a nice morning, albeit a little breezy at times. Had a little better turnout this week than last. Kim and I ran mostly with Chad, Pat, and Dan and enjoyed some very low-key social running (and walking and standing around talking) miles. Later I parted ways with everyone to get in a few more miles solo. I got feeling really good with a bit of a second wind and the last 5 or 6 miles flew by as I just kind of zoned out. All in all a quite enjoyable run. With a good string of 50+ mile weeks I'm about due for a rest week but I'm trying hold off until Thanksgiving week. Need to be smart and listen to my body I'll likely keep the pace nice and easy most all days next week. Only 10 more days until our son Tyler comes home from Denmark! Woohoo!! Looking forward to his return and enjoying Thanksgiving, probably my favorite holiday. 8:51/148
