I woke up at 2:45am and could not go back to sleep. Must be the stress of everything going on this week. I decided to get up and get my daily paperwork completed and do my run early so I can go to work early and get ready for the next inspection. It was 51 degrees and drizzling lightly when I left at 4:40. This is probably the earliest I have ever run. It's been a while since I ran in the dark as well. I started off in what I thought was a pretty easy, but smooth pace. I could not see my splits for a couple miles because I forgot to look at my Garmin when I happened to be under a streetlight. By the time I could see I realized that I was on my way to a pretty good tempo run.....so I went with it. I ran 15.22 miles in a very nice pace. I'm not sure why....but I just love my 15 mile runs. It was wierd to be finished with my run by 6:30am, but I think I needed this kind of effort today. Well.....off to work....fun, fun, fun.
