Long on Friday.

Since I'm working this weekend, I had to get the long run in today. After the thunder and lightning and rain last night, it was a bit cooler this morning, so I slept a little later. But I was still off on my run by about 7. I drove over to Mom and Dad's, that way I could finish my run there and cool down in the pool!
I ran down the Sea Girt boards, then inland to the bike trail as a warm up, about 3 miles. Then I picked up the pace, 5 miles out into Allaire @ 34:42, and at the turn, sped up again. The 5 miles back was @ 32:46. I was hoping the return trip was going to be faster, but the sun and humidity were tough. This run was supposed to be hard, but in control. If I had gone any faster, I would not be able to say that I was running fast but controlled. The total time for the 10 miles in the middle was 67:28. The last 3 miles home were run easy as a cool down. 16 total @ 1:51:27. Even though it was not as hot as yesterday, it was incredibly muggy out there today.
