8 miler

Basically forced myself out of bed and into my shoes this morning for an 8-mile run. Felt okay for the first few miles, but struggled a bit in the last two when I had to run back up all those hills I happily ran down to the water. Oh well. Also should have brought water -- luckily the water fountain at Golden Gardens works even in the cold. Gulped some down, swallowed a few Sports Beans (candy!) and felt better most of the way back. Speaking of back, my back started to hurt towards the end of the run. That's something new and weird.

Anyway, here's a picture of the run -- nice to have found a decent 8-mile route. That has always eluded me before.
