Ten Miles

Today was my first 10 mile run since the marathon. I went to sleep early last night (easy since I was tired) and got up around 5:45. At least that's when my alarm was set for. I had trouble getting my contacts to fit right so I didn't hit the trail until just before 7. I decided to run before church today because the high is supposed to be 95. It was hot enough at 8.

Clearly a lot of bikers and other runners agreed as I passed tons of people. But I actually saw lots more rabbits than people. I saw more rabbits than I've ever seen before. I wondered if it is mating season for rabbits. But isn't it always mating season for rabbits? I saw other animals too, squirrels and birds mostly. But there were rabbits everywhere.

It was also a beautiful, beautiful morning. All in all, a good run. I love getting back into the double digit long runs.
