It was a beautiful morning for a run. I got out for my scheduled 6 miles and it felt great. I did start with a Gu gel and had one with me, too. I probably should have used it after 4 miles or so, but I didn't. Afterward, I was rather tired and a bit achy. I'm glad I didn't plan to do more than 6 miles. Actually, I ran 6.2 miles. I got almost exactly the same time as I did from the 10k run I participated in last fall. That gives me hope that I will do well at my next 10k, since I expect that one to be rather flat.
Later in the day, I took a 1/2 hour nap, which seemed to help. I might do yoga or something light tomorrow morning, rather than pushing again.
This morning, I used a 158bpm Podrunner podcast called Relayered and then some of the next podcast in my mp3 list, a 159bpm mix called Activator. I averaged a 10:44 pace, which I'm pleased with!
At one point, I turned a corner to see 60-70 Canada geese in a nearby field. That was quite a sight.
