Double digits. That's right. Read it and weep. 10 miles going the opposite way on my 10 mile loop. I've still got it. Going up the hills was pretty solid. Beautiful weather. When I left at 11 am it was 42 and sunny so I ran in shorts, short sleeve tech shirt, and thin cotton gloves. North breeze but not bad. This run felt really good and makes me happy.

I just about jumped out of my chair when I saw the 10 miles! :-)

Glad you didn't actually jump out of your chair. You might've gotten hurt, broken the other collar bone, sprained an ankle, etc. Way to stay put.

'Read it and weep' lol. Glad you are running happy Russ:)

Christie, I must've been amped up on chocolate milk and bagels when I wrote that! Hopefully I can get out for another double digit this weekend. It used to be my norm, but then life got in the way. Sadness ensued.
