Good to run

Got up at 4:30am this morning so that I could run 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) before the sun came up too much.  Luckily, the sun came over the mountain when I was at about mile 5, so I didn't have to contend with that for too long.  Also, it was only about 70F when I set out, which is cooler than it has been and just perfect.  Good music, good run, and good feeling about getting that in at the start of the weekend.  I finished the run (ran the entire thing!) in 1:00:48, which is about 9:48/mile.  Not too shabby, considering I haven't run that far in awhile.  I usually do about 5 miles on the weekend per run, and while 6.2 miles doesn't sound like it would be that bad after having done 5 miles, think about it this way:  you just ran 5 miles and you still have a mile to go.  It can be daunting, which (to me) is where good music comes in.  It's great motivation!  Taking the day off tomorrow for Father's Day, and then back to the grindstone with the girls on Monday.  Yay running!
