Notes
roads: ponderosa, lake, taft, stuart, constitution, winfield, spring creek trail (slight detour), centre, shields, stuart, taft, lake. planned on doing 7, so i'm satisfied. focused on keeping a quick but manageable/aerobic pace, and 7:20 is fairly good. will focus on lowering that in subsequent weeks, but rather good for my first 'long run.' would like to get a regular weekly schedule on track and do long runs on thursdays like this. another lovely evening to run. trail was a little dark, but still pleasant once i figured out where to go. mostly continuous and maybe only slightly slower on the way back... but that may be more due to hills (actually it is- 100ft lower leaving trail, and more undulating on way back). in summation, a good confidence booster, knee didn't act up much (2 ibuprofen beforehand), solid evening miles; longest run mileage-wise for quite a while.
