Easy 8

What a gorgeous day for a run!

I ran 8 easy miles today, through Cook and Tualatin parks and around my neighborhood.
I didn't look at my Garmin for the first several miles, wanting to focus on feeling comfortable instead of watching my pace.

I ran the first 6 straight and then took a 1-minute walk break to reward my hard work and to slurp down a homemade gel.

Then I finished it off a bit slower, completing 8.01 miles in 1:18:33 - a 9:49 average.
Excellent! Feeling strong :)

Meanwhile, Brad ran to Beaverton and back in his last long run before tackling the Heart Breaker Half next month.
14.51 miles at a 9:18 pace.
You are amazing :) :) Now enjoy that taper!
