"Long" Run day, and beyond!

Wow!  Again it's been a while since I posted.  Oops!  On Saturday I went to Grant's Trail, early, and ran.  It was very nice, getting hot, but not too hot, too early.  I saw a former student, whose shy dog has recovered completely, and is prepping for Rally classes.  She wanted to get a friend into my puppy class, so I stopped for a minute to give her the information.  I accidentally ran 8 and a bit, when I was supposed to run 7, but I figured that was just money in the bank.  The reason I ran more than planned was good, though!  I had figured 7 at 13 minutes/mile.  So, I considered my turnaround point to be about 45 minutes.  Apparently, I was moving faster than 13 mpm, so, when I got back I had an 8.2 mile route saved on the GPS on my phone.  Good stuff!  I also ran into my dear friend, Jim, who was riding his bike, and rode along with me for a bit.  All in all, a good long run day.
