goal: 10mile run

I started out on a 10 mile run this morning, but after hitting the 6 mile marker, I was ready to be done. I had energy to continue, but mentally I was spent. I usually do my 10 miles run early, like around 5:15am, so when the sun starting rising and all the traffic started getting heavy. It was too much for me. And all the flashing lights/busses/traffic in the 2 school zones I was crossing, was enough to push me over the edge and proved too overwhelming. Not sure if I had a case of listening to my body or quitting too early!! I headed home after 6 miles for a total of 7.37 miles. It felt good. Not too much, not too little. Nonetheless, it was great run. Slow, but good. My muscles are still a little sore from Saturday's run...yes, still sore! That's what I get for running a half marathon with an 8:37 pace!!!

accomplished: 7.37 mile run - 1:14 / 10:02 pace
