Long Run. Wresting with what I wanted to do. Three days removed from last workout and day after recovery run. Uncertainty with life stuff and weather this weekend, so just as good a day as any to put another lime green line on the graph. Doing some of it faster sounded fun also.

Little different than some of the others in our "awesome running community". My alarm clock went off without a hitch. No problem getting out and going without a push from a motivation buddy. Did not run any of the 14 miles faster than the prescribed effort / pace. Did not set any PRs in any segment of a training run. No beer, so had to run all by myself.

Started with a 8:29 and worked to 8:09 by mile seven. Looped the neighborhood before heading out to the interstate and then coming back into town. Herd of deer in guy's front yard on Green Meadows Drive. Little bored and ready to roll, so picked it up: 7:48 / 7:41 / 7:29 / 7:33 / 7:32 / 7:25 / 7:16 average for last 1.23. Felt like I could have knocked out several more. Cardio may be as good as it has ever been. Ran for free but could care less.
