Long Runs are great

What a great day today was!  Attended an 8:00 meeting at the church, ran a few errands, and then got home in time to get a run in - no where to be until 4:00 so I laced up the shoes and hit the road.  Got 12.25 miles in and the weather was perfect, mixed clouds and sun and temps in the mid-60's.  The only challenge was traffic was heavy for the island since it was graduation day for Bainbridge High School.  Tried to stay off the main roads and being around the High School and managed to have have a great and safe run.  Overall, a great run with decent pace at 8:40 (total ascent was almost 2,000 feet - ouch) and the knee is feeling better.  I've realized the knee pain is tied to my quads so a bit of stretch before and during the run seemed to keep it under control - post run feels good too.

Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday-rejoice in God's gift to each of us of the Holy Spirit and let's take on the boldness of Peter!  (Acts 2)
