long time no long run
i finally got my rear out the door by about 7:30AM and headed out on the glacial drumlin trail. i headed to Wales, which is the next town west of Waukesha. after a slow 6.5 miles (8:30 pace) i rolled into the outskirts of Wales, stopped at the bathroom, took a drink from the water fountain and turned for home.
it’s uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back. i began rolling for home and saw a guy running out ahead of me with a camelback. i slowly reeled him in and exchanged pleasantries as i pulled up. we got to talking and he was prepping for the Half Ironman in Michigan which is held about 5 weeks from now. after talking for awhile, i wished him luck and made the turn for home.
i ended up with 13 miles at 8:16 pace and felt reasonably well. for most of the run i listened to my ipod, which i haven’t used in awhile. for the week, i ran 30 miles on 4 days of running.
