10.01 plus 1.01 (Garmin links here and here)
1:21:28, 7:17
8:08, 7:17 pace
Was trying to get a long run done sometime this weekend, but it turned out to be harder than I would have liked. Started from home Saturday morning, but gave up after a mile and a half - legs were very tight and not loosening up even at a slow pace. Felt like I was hurting them. Swam 2K on Saturday and again on Sunday, and tried again for a long run this morning. Had my eyes on a 16-miler, which would have been my furthest by half a mile.
Weather was a little warmer than I would have liked, and very humid - 98% when I left the house. Biked down to the path at Chestnut Street. Planned to do the loop route to the 8 mile point then double back. Lost my resolve about a quarter mile after turning around at the halfway point, and decided to just do the simple loop. Stopped at 10 miles, then ran the final mile at a faster pace (7:17) back to the bike. Think I have mental difficulty keeping on track after the 10-12 mile point. Maybe some dehydration is kicking in at that point, and carrying water would help.
