Long run 21 mi. (7:49 avg). I left work and ran on a bike trail, but instead of doing a simple out and back as planned, I decided to go exploring one way. Then called home from a nearby town for a ride back. I had enough energy to just keep running, but daylight ran out and I knew my family would be getting worried. Terrific weather with 70 temp. and I had a terrific view of the sun setting since I was away from the city and in the countryside at that point. It's amazing how quickly the sun slips away after it reaches the horizon. Simply a great and liberating run overall. I really enjoy running over the countryside. God willing, planning to go a bit farther next time and try to reach the next town. I'll be sure to give the Mrs. a heads up though and bring a cell along. |
