10 Miles, 1 Hour, 45 Minutes, 39 Seconds
Well, this went pretty well despite the circumstances. I set my alarm for 6AM to get an early start today, but I forgot to arm it. 
Sooooooooooooooooo I just woke up when I wasn’t tired anymore. At least I was well rested!!
As a result of my extended early morning nap, I didn’t get started running until a little after 9AM. My training regimen called for 18 miles today, but after skipping too many days, and injuring my hip, I knew I wasn’t going to make that. At the 6 mile mark, I thought I would split the difference and try for 13 miles, at least that would be a half marathon. As the miles wore on, though, the heat from the July morning in New England got to me and I settled for 10 miles.
Although I didn’t make it to 18 miles, or even 13 miles, I felt good about reaching 10. It was double digits. It was the most I had run since the half marathon on June 1. At least I’m making some progress. The new stretching exercise I added, as well as the cool down walk and cool down stretching appear to be helping.
Stay tuned and cool runnings.
