12.24@8:35 HR 150 bpm
Long ray day by time, 105 minutes, 5 minute easy warmup, 75 minute "easy" (8:19-9:19), then 20 minute optional easy which I did (same pace as first 75 minutes), followed by 5 minute warm down.
Instead of usual route, I parked at the Tarpon Turtle and ran on the east-west section of Pinellas trail, first going east until East Lake Rd, then turning around to go west until the trail turned south in downtown Tarpon Springs. Went far enough south so my return trip would burn up the remainder of time. It can be distracting to run through this section as there are a lot of stop signs and some busy-ish crossings.
There were a lot of bicycle police that were scolding cyclists that did not stop at stop signs so I made some sort of attempt to look like I was stopping.
Heart rate was higher than I wouldv'e liked but I did feel really good and running a steady pace did feel "easy" once fully warmed up.
Also, very nice morning today.
