Weather - 40 degrees, sunny, windy. Sunny, but the wind made it feel about 30 degrees. Was planning on a moderate/easy day, but Melinda called and wanted to run long, so I decided to go for it. I was curious to see how my legs would hold out with a continuous run. Also to see how strained they were from the past two days of staggered runs. Decided to wear shorts and 3 shirts with no jacket. We planned on a 1 hour and 45 minute run, so we took off for Champaign, running through campus, headed to the west outskirts, then back into Urbana, through the arboretum. Melinda stopped at her house at 1 hour 40 minute mark, I was feeling terrific, so decided to go for a full 2 hours. I am guessing we averaged about an 8:30 pace overall, so that puts me at 14 miles for the run. Yeah! Now I am off to the Zendo to participate in seshin. I will not attempt to run there, so will ride my bicycle, hoping to avoid another fall. #133 z.m. - #47
