10.15 plus 2.15 miles (Garmin links here and here)
1:22:59, 17:xx
8:10, 8:18 pace
Was going to try to break that 12 mile barrier today, and aimed for 13, which would be the Falls Bridge loop from work without the Girard Avenue shortcut past the zoo. Was doing pretty well until about the ten mile mark, which was on the long treeless stretch along the West River Drive before it crosses the river back to the Art Museum. Stopped at 10 miles, then walked across the bridge, just like last weekend. Ran another 2 miles to get back to work.
Although I don't like stopping, I don't feel too bad about it. This makes 34 miles for the week, which is a lot for me. The weather felt hot and sticky, although when I checked weather.com, it said only 75 degrees and 72% humidity, which is not terrible. I think it is time to move my running to the mornings before work.
Will take the weekend off and do some swimming, and start the FIRST training program with some track work at Franklin Field on Monday. I think the track work won't be too bad to do at lunch until it gets really hot. Not sure if the track is open early.
