Whew! 7 mile long run and forgot to eat something afterward

It was lovely out today. Originally Glynis told me I should run at 6:30 in the morning, but I took the opportunity to sleep in. Then we went on a breakfast date. I think it was the first time for me to run on such a full stomach. Well, it was a long run, and I was taking my time, so I did ok.

I decided to run around the big block. I had done this once before running clockwise around it, but this time I would try the other direction. And like last time it was really windy out. Plenty of sun and a temperature of 60 degrees, with a wind of 16 MPH from the southwest. I ran west on Main, south on Washington, then went a little farther to Meadowpoint. From there I took Stanfield back to Meijer and ran in front of the stores before making my way back out to Main. Returning to the neighborhood, along with some cul-de-sacs, I made 6.5 miles by the time I got back to my street. So one lap around the park block finished off the total mileage.

Total miles: 7.23 mi; Total time: 1:10:32; Average pace: 9:45

Oh yeah, then walked with Glynis afterward and other errands. Basically forgot to eat anything after the long run. Not a good idea. Hopefully I'll remeber next time!
