A warm, damp early morning. Temperature was around 55 and windy. I’ll take it. It’ll be 70+ at 4AM in no time.
One thing that goes along with ramping up the distance is not eating anything before the run. Go longer without the pre-run fueling. I always drink about 8 to 10 ounces of a SIS electrolyte mix, but for longer runs I’ll also eat some oatmeal before heading out. Today was the first longer run without it.
Today’s run was an 8.05 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:51.
