Rainy ten -- Sat. July 5

Last chance to add some miles in a sort of recovery week. Woke feeling okay, and took my time to get started, partly as it was raining. No sign of a let-up, so at about 9:15 headed off thinking of 8 plus. Sprinkling, not too bad for the first few miles, then as I hit Stebbins it started to pour. Oh well. Got wet. After that it let up a bit as I turned onto Bay, and then mainly died down as I came off Metacomet. Up Federal, and decided to add the Allen hills, so ended up on 202 and still needing distance looped through MacD carpark, then back into GeoHannum and finally added the Greenwich hill loop, etc. to make sure I hit 10 miles. Almost dried off (except feet) by then, and feeling quite good (except for the bruised foot syndrome from the sciatica thing). Details:

Time: 1:12:47
Distance: 10.07 miles
Speed: 8.3 mph

Comments: refreshing, and nice to get double digits (just); exactly on my stamina pace too. やっぱり this has been a weird week, but I hope I can get back to higher miles next week. I probably need to space out my long runs to 10 days or even 14 day intervals at my current rest and recovery rate. . .
