Green Belt 8-miler

I ran 8 miles with Bill on the green belt on Sunday morning. I had just flown back from a vacation in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon and was a bit jetlagged. I managed to drag myself out of bed and was on time for our 6AM rendez vous. My right ankle/shin was a little tight on the out, and it never fully loosened up. I didn't realize until I looked at the data that it was over 81 degrees that morning. No wonder I was so hot! I guess we'll have to start running at 5 if we're going to beat the heat. At about mile 5, we saw a group of 20-somethings lolling in the grass. They were all dressed in black and looked a little sauced. I chuckled and said to Bill, "We're up early and they're out late." We managed to finish the run in 1:14, about a 9:20 pace. I was very pleased-- especially since I wasn't feeling 100% and because of the heat. Activity Route: -- Elev.
