I ran 10 miles yesterday afternoon.
Sometimes it just makes sense to get the long run out of the way on a Friday so the weekend can be uninterrupted. I’m lucky to have the flexibility in my schedule right now. And today while Mr. SOTSS is getting his long run in, I’ll be chilling back at the house with his 10-year old. Teamwork!
I didn’t have it in me to do a long run in the neighborhood again so I took it to the beach and ran along the pretty trails alongside the ocean and through other parts of the national park area.
I love living on a coast.
quiet, secret trails
The weather was gorgeous. Bright blue skies and about 59 degrees. I started out a little too fast for a long run but it caught up with me. I did however bust out my fastest mile in the last mile for the win!
And here’s a great shot AND an outtake from my timer-camera pit-stop about midway into the run.
successful timer-camera action (and when do i retire this shirt? I’ve been wearing it for 3 years now! I get so attached to my marathon finisher’s shirts)
Unsuccessful timer-camera shot. LOL!
And no, unfortunately (or fortunately) I’m not the one with the long legs….Duncan is:
I need your help.
My running capris are getting really worn and I’m going to have to replace them soon. The ones in the pics above are not made anymore. They were the Brooks Essential Capri. Who’s got suggestions for good running capris?
- They need to stay up,
- not unravel along the seams,
- have a zipper pocket in the back,
- be closer to compression gear but not that tight and not come too far below my knee.
What’s the weather like by you this weekend? Ever do your long run on a Friday?
