Finally getting it

I ran my long run yesterday. Well for the most part.

About 1.2 miles into the current long run route there is a park. As I am cruising by I notice a church member. Instead of just waving and continuing on I stopped and had a bit of a chat. Then I ran the next 6.9 miles of the run. No walking breaks. That is the first time I have done that on a long run. I slowed the pace down a bit. Afterwards looking at the heart rate monitor I noticed that I kept at about 167 the whole time and 9 minute miles. Then of course on they way by the park my church member was still there so I stopped again and had a little chat.

So 9.3 miles overall but I am very happy with the bulk of the run and feel like I held my pace well.

I am frustrated with the weight. 162.5 today. I want to lose more. 1/2 a pound a week is not what I am looking for. Oh well.
