7.7 miles~~HOT!

Ok.  The calendar says it is October.  Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature!  It was 82 degrees today while running, and I am not used to the heat.  I wanted to be able to run most of the way, but I ended up walking quite a bit because I was hot.  Even after that, I ended up keeping a 12 minute pace, so that is pretty good.  

We drove out to Harris Hollow road again today.  We like this route because it is relatively flat (with the exception of the big hill at the beginning-end).  I ran out 3.6 miles and decided to turn around.  My original plan had been to run out at least 4 miles.  Sometimes I make myself a bit nervous, because the farther down the road I go,  the narrower the road gets, there is less traffic, and it can be a little eery.  Plus, I was getting tired and my water was about out.  I decided that since I hadn't been running as often, that 7 miles was an admirable run.  

I am so glad I got in over 7 miles.  And I am so glad no bear or boogey man came out to get me!  Boo!
