I don't know where that 75% chance of thunderstorms was, because it was a gorgeous Saturday morning for a run. I ran 2.6 miles to Antrim Park. My friend Kristi and met up there and ran another 7.7 miles.
I most likely could have run better overall if I hadn't got all amped up on the second mile of my run to the park. The song "Jump in the Fire" by the Night Marchers started playing on my iPod and I got so juiced up I felt like Mark McGwire. So, I didn't have as good of a pace as last week long run, but I was still under 11 minutes per mile over the course of the whole thing. I find that to be an acceptable pace considering the humidity this morning and since it's still this early in the marathon training.
I'm really looking forward to my three miles with Laela tomorrow!
