Long run. 7:28 am, 29-40° (it really warmed up over the course of my run), 30% humidity, wind 4 SSE. I normally meet up with the Michelles at 7:30 on Saturday mornings, but I wanted to sleep in a bit, and so I pushed it back to 8:00. But I was running to Michelle's house, so I had to leave just before 7:28 (it would have been before 7:00 if I hadn't changed the time). I ran about 3.5 miles to Michelle's house. They were standing in the road waiting for me when I got there, so I just kept running and they joined me when I got to them. We took a hilly route that Michelle had run once before. It went through a couple of neighborhoods that I had not been in before, and I was impressed that she didn't get lost. We ran 8 miles together and then I took a 2.5 mile route back home. On my way back, I saw Barbie out walking. I've seen her quite a bit recently, but it's usually when I'm driving kids to school in the morning. This is the first time in a while that I've seen her while I've been running. When I got home I came into my house and changed into my VFFs. I had a nice little 1/2 mile route in my neighborhood and I was just going to do that, but after I did that I was feeling good and decided to do it again. My husband was waiting for me when I got home because I told him it would only be 5 minutes, but it turned out to be 10. I had a quick shower and then we went to IHOP. I like pancakes after a long run sometimes. I'm hoping that we get no new snow and get some thawing the next week so that we can run on the trail next Saturday. I'm a little tired of pounding the streets all the time. AP: 9:53. Splits: 9:30, 9:11, 9:07, 9:19, 9;56, 10:09, 10:32, 9:52, 10:29, 10:27, 10:06, 10:23, 9:39, 9:45, 9:55.
