Exercise Type: Run
Weather: humid but nice
Comments:
This morning and early afternoon was really hot but they we got some heavier rain. The weather really cooled off so right after it stopped raining I headed out. It was still pretty humid so I sweat a lot but the temp was ideal. I wanted to do a recovery day so the entire run I was controlling my pace to where I was really comfortable. A pace at which I felt that I could go a lot more at. I was surprised that when I mapped the run it was this long. I am even more surprised that my pace is under 7 min/mi again. This is a really good sign that I didn't struggle at all for this long at this pace. On top of that I am getting a cold I think so I even ran this at not 100%. In short, excellent, relaxing, and enjoyable run.
Out to Thorn hill ext. road to Robinhood rd. to Rochester rd. to Unionville until jct. of Race for VA. then back past Costco and I park.
