Yes, it's true...

...I woke up at 6 o'clock on a Saturday morning for a long run. Can I even remember the last time I did that? It was probably the beginning of May. I only ran ten miles. I suppose I should ease back into this long distance running thing. It's time to start, though. I only have two months until St George, and for one of those months I'll be on sabbatical in the high plains. Maybe I need more hill training now? I'll figure something out for the month of September. Over-passes, maybe?

So my long run was relatively coolish. It was a little cloudy, so even when the sun came up it still wasn't as hot as it could have been. But to be honest I was a little uncomfortable with the heat and had to run on the shadiest side of the street. My body held up pretty well. I'd go through phases of feeling really great and feeling like crap. Sometimes running makes you feel a little sick. Oh, I did have that random pain in my foot. This happened in my last pair of Aasics--after about eight miles I would get a pain in the ball of my foot. This pain kind of came and went, so it wasn't too bad. Overall it was a nice run.

10'ish miles; 9th East to 39th South; 1:30:00'ish
