but I finally got in that 7 miles. The day was beautiful and warm after a week of rain and we headed through Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach, then went another couple of miles out and back along the Great Highway. I was still a bit tired and sore after Friday's run. I normally run my tempo days on Thursdays, so my body must have been expecting another rest day Sunday.
Which is all to say that I began to run out of steam after about 5 miles and definitely dragged the 6th mile. In the 7th mile, Andy took off ahead and I kicked into a new gear as well. I felt great as I loped up to the Java Beach Cafe. The run felt pretty slow, but it turned out to be just under my target long run pace of 11:32. If everything feels good, I'm going to push ahead with an 8 mile run next Sunday. These are virgin miles now - with every new distance, a new threshold reached and exceeded.
