Notes
Solo twilight LR- DPRT to knoch knolls to Springbrook w/grass loop into reverse modaff tempo. 100% planned on getting my long run in at 6:30 this morning with the guys, but when I went to bed last night I apparently didn't fully plug my phone into the charger, because when I woke up this morning my watch said 630 and my phone was dead. I contemplated still going solo but I saw it was supposed to be warmer later in the day so I said fuck it, went back to sleep, and figured I would do it when I got off work at 4 p.m. When I got off it was still pretty nice out so I headed out from Nick's house down the bike path to knoch Knolls. I hopped onto modaff and took that into Springbrook and did the grass Loop before heading over to the main Loop. I actually ended up finishing Springbrook by coming back out onto modaff from the main loop and then basically did reverse modaff temple route from there on and finished at Nick's house. I felt pretty good throughout the run, really relaxed. I took my gu a little after 10 miles at my only stop light in the middle of Springbrook, but other than that, I didn't stop at all. I only looked at my watch a couple times (first time was at 11 miles and saw 550 last mile) so the run went by fairly quick, but I was starting to get pretty chilled the last 5 to 6 miles as I was getting done in Springbrook since I was only wearing a dry-fit long sleeve and half tights. it was already starting to get dark when I started but I wasn't sure how much it was going to cool off since it was still 45 degrees at the start. I still finished pretty quick the last few miles but I was tightening up the last mile. I was still able to stay smooth though so that was good. Glad I got a good quality longer run in. Wore that birght flashlight on my half tights so that I was able to see pretty decently on the grass loop and pretty well in springbrook on the limestone since it was pitch black for probably 2/3 of this run. Did 4X strides on Sunset Drive afterward - the first one was pretty hard but the other three weren't too bad
