10 mile Saturday run

Great run broken into two segments. Ran 5.5 at 5 and then 4.6 at 6. Stopped and refueled, wrung out the socks and shirt at the fitness center between the two runs and although it is good to stop it is always hard to get started again. Amazing how we come in at an 8:47 pace after running and averaging about an 8:42 pace for the first 5.5 miles and then start out at a 9:34 pace and just can’t really get it back to where I was. It’s hot and humid and it gets hard to run. I walked a little and turned my watch off while I walked and then had a good last mile, pushing to pass one person and almost catch another. Great to be back out running after my back issue a couple weeks ago. Now I’m going to spend the morning working and sweating in the yard before I collapse at the movie theater and then out to eat with my awesome family. Hey, it’s Saturday and it doesn’t get much better than this!
