Ten More Miles

Ten more miles this morning in the sunrise, 64 degrees, what a lovely run on roads and trails. Excellent! This completes 33 miles for the week, as I probably won’t run tomorrow and Saturday starts the new week. That was the goal, next week 37 if all goes well.

The right hip flexors did start to squawk a little at about mile 7, but I shifted to a run/walk for a while and they quieted down. Huh. Splits: 9:22, 9:02, 9:29, 8:59, 9:30, 18:29 (2 mi), 11:04, 9:21, 9:40, total 1:34:56, average pace 9:30.

This morning's post-run breakfast: Irish oatmeal with organic flame raisins and dried cranberries, mango, papaya, pineapple, blueberries, organic strawberries, organic walnuts, organic nonfat milk, organic pomegranate juice.Breakfast
SaladWednesday's Salad / Dinner: Organic romaine, cucumber, leftover organic chicken, organic nectarine, Sunshine's homemade guacamole, organic red wine vinegar.

Nice run, nice easy pace for a long run.

Being on the river absolutely opened a new window. I love running over rivers too. I can still see running over the Lake (?) Bridge over the Mississippi and back (on River Rd?) to my sister's house in St. Paul early in the morning a few years back like it was last week. I love running over the Potomac here in DC on the various bridges. Running over the East River on the Queensboro at the NYCM was almost s fun as being on the Verazzano Narrows Bridge (my hometown--Staten Island). The Ohio at the Flying Pig, and at the Richmond Race for the Cure in 2007 we ran over the James River and back. Passing over those historical rivers was great. All that silently moving water down below.
