7 MILES @ 9:38 AVG PACE

Today marks the beginning of training week #8

Got out for my run after I got the kids off to camp. Woo Hoo schools out for summer:)!!

Hit the pavement around 11:30am, and the temp said 75F and 60% humidity, it was blue skies and sunny: GORGEOUS!! Decided to run my 4 mile loop backwards, and then add the 3mile pond route to it. It was great.
