Notes
Last night was a very solid run, especially considering the night before with Tatum and Taelynn. All day I was feeling a bit run down and I wasn’t too excited about running long but I figured I had better do it or I would be waiting until next Thursday. I started out in town Princeton with no water or food being brought along, I figured I would do my normal 10 mile loop and hit up water and a granola bar before knocking out the last 5. I got sidetracked along the route, there is a country road outside of Princeton that I always wanted to take but never wanted to do that much mileage (I had never driven on the road let alone run on it), last night was a good night to take it. I knew this would add at least ~2-3 miles onto my 10 mile loop so I knew I had to wait until 12-13 miles before getting anything to eat, so that was going to be a challenge… I got rolling down the side road which was very curvy and I was glad I had the sunlight to predict compass direction… since I wasn’t 100% sure how long it would take me out before I would get back into Princeton I was watching the time and figured I could always turn around if I wasn’t making headway back to Princeton… eventually it finally turned back towards Princeton and I knew where I was at! I made my way back to the car and figured I was about 12-13 miles, just as I predicted… I went back out and ran another ~3 miles and called it a night.
Overall, I was very pleased with the run I was just over 7 minutes a mile… ~1:45:43, I knew my first 4 mile splits before getting sidetracked
