6/6 Med Long Run

12.11 miles in 2:05:35 (10:22/mile) @ 141 bpm.

Had a late night on Friday because of the final company event before we all go our separate ways. They did it at the zoo. All the kids had a blast. Great food, wonderful deserts, and perfect weather.

Had to get up earlier so we could drive to Yakima for a thing at my Dad's house. On the road by 5:30. 57 and partly cloudy, didn't warm up too much either. Perfect running weather!

Pitstop just before mile 9. It was so relieving I had to check to make sure I hadn't lost my waterbelt when I started running again. :) Delayed my pitsop since my normal PortaSan was on it's side. About a block before it was an case of Bud Lite, with the empties spilling out of it. Connection? Or am i just a cynic. :)

Tossed my sunglasses up on top of my hat in the first 5 minutes of the run. Just not enough sun. I wasn't the only one either. I think we expected more like what we had earlier in the week.

Hammer at 4, 7 and 10. I'm burning through this bottle then going back to honey. I wish GU sold in bulk. If not, why would GU sel flasks?

I think one of my bottles chafed me in the back little. Or I scraped it hunching over in a little play cave chasing Kaitlyn at the zoo. Didn't notice it till later in the day.

Whole run was pretty tough. Calves didn't warm up for 3 miles or so, had to push through the rest of the run.

Intersected a pack of 4 runners, looked like soccer or rugby players, going the opposite direction, twice. Wonder what loop they were on.

They're doing construction on the 35th and Seattle Hill intersection. A little bit of judicious bike lane running to stay on course.

Needless to say, I skipped the workout. Back to the gym next week.
