15.2 mi, 2:12:13, 8:42 avg
I saw that I needed 14.5 miles to hit 40 for the week. I had a terrible time sleeping again last night, mostly awake from 2:00 to 6:00, but instead of sleeping in got up early enough to drive to Longleaf and start running before 7:00. I thought I'd be slow and sluggish, but after the first mile at 10:34, the rest were between 9:04 and 8:03.
Headed north up Starkey Blvd and into the park. Dropped off my water bottle for the last 1.5 miles of the out portion, so 3 miles total with hands free. Glad I went with the 17 oz bottle as there was no water in the coolers due to COVID (I had some back up plans in case I felt dangeroursly dehydrated but it was cool enough that 17oz was enough).
When I got back to the church, there were a few Striders who had met up for a socially distanced run. I saw Clark who gave me a gatorade from the cooler which I was grateful for.
This might be my longest run since the Long Haul 100 in January.
