long runs begin

Thursday, February 11th was our longest run so far, nothing we have not run before. But 7 miles was the longest run I have done since April 2009. We discussed our route the night before and agreed to begin at 4:50 am. Which means we both got up @ 4:20 am. VERY EARLY!! Also wanted to mention that the low was 7 degrees. Which evidently we were prepared for, because neither of us complained about the cold, well, not much. We thought we knew the route, but came to a T in the road and realized we went left where we should have gone RIGHT! Oh NO! If we continued our run would be cut short & we would not make the 7 miles. So we turned around & headed back to correct our mistake. Which in turn added almost a mile to our run. Not only were we not prepared or ready to get 8 miles, but time was also a factor, as we must be home by 6:30am to let husbands get to work. Needless to say we were late getting home, but the good news is: we're ready for 8 miles.
