Early Tuesday ten

Today on the marathon training schedule called for a "general aerobic" ten miler. Since the Dr Wife likes to get to work early to do her mad scientist experiments - this meant a very early run for me. I was up at 5am, granola bar and small glass of diet soda (need caffeine) by 5:15am and then out the door by 5:30am. Stepped outside and it was the best weather so far this summer - 62 degrees to start.

I decided not to run my normal hilly route - and to just head downtown and make things up as I went. I ended up down by Long Wharf.....awesome sunrise down by the water. I then headed by Sports Haven (still have no idea what that is - maybe I need a field trip), then I felt sort of lost until I could see the East Rock monument and shortly after that passed under 91. From there I realized I was really close to home, so I headed back downtown. For some strange reason I wanted to run up the Prospect St hill - (you can see in my splits where that was). Then headed home....

Felt much better today then Sunday - i guess a 25 degree difference in temperature will do that. Oh....and yes (for those concerned) the Dr Wife got to the lab at her usual time.
