Time for a break?

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.
