forgot to check distance before i left - assumed it was 4 miles. realized about 1/2 mile out that it was probably 5 miles. i had to guess at a route & i ended up guessing about .2 miles too short. d'oh.

still slow. clearly the effort of 9 miles gook a bit of a toll. but the good thing is i was able to run fairly easily for the full hour. Saturday's 10-miler will be interesting; i'll probably need to go early to avoid the heat. it will the longest i've ever run in my life. whee?
