Surprisingly, I was able to get up easily this morning. The night didn't go nearly as late as I'd expected. We definitely had some fun, as our family is wont to do when we get together. All those cousins, aunts and uncles in one space, with a new generation coming up, and good times are bound to happen.
Anyway, this morning I wanted to get 11-12 miles, so I hit the greenway trail I found yesterday. Unfortunately, it ended earlier than I expected, so I turned back, but I was able to cross over and head for the university. A few blocks of neighbourhoods, past the golf course I stumbled through many times back from the bar, and then I was on campus. I ran around the main road, and found myself by my old dorm. I had a quick glance up at my old window, ran through some wistful memories, and was on my way back to the hotel. I felt really solid all run, and I was able to pick up the effort a little in the second half. By the end I was starting to feel the effort, all these miles this week, with no real recovery work, was starting to catch up. Hopefully a few days of moderate work and some time on the bike and in the pool with get things straightened out for next weekend, when we toe the line again.
Run: 85 minutes, ~ 18km, zone 1-2
