It wasn't supposed to be such a late night. I mean, it was going to be late, but not that late. When I finally got to bed around 3am, I didn't expect much of myself this morning. And while I was dragging around after waking up at 7:30, I really didn't have high hopes. But I laced up and pushed out the door anyway.
It was a perfect morning to run, just a bit of a breeze and just a bit cool. I didn't think it was worth stressing about time given my condition, and just popped along my route. The effort was nicely moderate, and I finished the first lap in a good time. Then I picked up the pace, felt surprisingly strong, and grooved a second lap of five-plus miles. I knew I was moving, but wasn't expecting much of a blazing time, so I was a bit surprised when I stopped my watch and saw 37:08. That would be a new record for the course, and I wasn't even working that hard. I could have kept that effort going for quite a while longer.
Of course, now I need a nap like it's nobody's business.
Run: 10.6 miles, 39:59/37:08
