15k Beauty

This was the view I had when I walked out my door this morning to go for my run:


What a way to start the longest run I've ran in over a month!  I knew that I wanted to push my distance this morning with a half marathon planned in October.  I had set out to do 7-8 miles but was secretly hoping to do more.  As I approached the end of mile 8 (and close proximity to my house) I hadn't heard from Nate that the kids were awake so I decided to go another mile.  I had been feeling pretty strong throughout and knew my pace was good so kept going.  Ended up running a 15k (9.3 miles) in 1:28:04 (9:28 pace).  VERY happy about that!
