It has been a couple weeks since my last long run. With this weekend and next being the only weekends before surgery, I definately wanted to get a longer run in before I am forced to be relatively idle for what will probably be a couple weeks. If I am lucky, I can do some short runs by the end of the year, and with some luck I can return to 5+ mile runs some time in January.
Today's run was broken into two parts. The first 1.8 miles or so, I brought the dog along - as he needed the exercise. The colder weather and shorter days have meant fewer trips to the park for him. However, he hasn't really been conditioned to run, so I couldn't bring him along for a long distance. Since I'm not in training mode right now, and for the rest of the winter, I am thinking I'll take advantage of that and get his endurance up a bit.
After the short 1.8 mile loop in the neighborhood, I took off on a there-and-back trip from the house to Trader Joe's on Rt 9. Its just about 4.5 miles away - which, combined with the 1.8 miles earlier, would easily put me in the 10 mile range.
Total Time: 1:47:15
Total Disance: 10.35 Miles
Avg HR: 150
