Easy run. 6:00 am, 33° F, 46% humidity, winds calm. I decided to run on Thursday instead of Friday this week to see if that makes me more rested and better able to handle the Saturday long run. Since I normally run with Lindsay on Fridays, I called her to see if she wanted to run Thursday with me instead. She agreed, but her husband has to be work earlier on Thursdays and so we had to start a little earlier than we do on other days. That meant I had to break out the head lamp again. We did loop that got her back to her house by the time her husband needed to leave, and then I had to run home from there by myself. When I got near to my house I realized that if I went home the normal way I would be a little under 5 miles when I got home. I could go a little past my house and then back to get the 5 miles, but instead I decided to take a detour. Well, the detour turned out to be longer than I anticipated, so instead of approaching 5 miles as I got to my house, I was approaching 5.5 miles as I approached my house. So I went a few house lengths beyond to get to the 5.5 miles then stopped and walked back home. AP: 10:08. Splits: 10:30, 10:13, 10:01, 10:05, 10:01, 0.5 @ 9:44.
