I intended to run my 11:30 long run pace. After a few miles, I fell into a comfortable pace and chose to remain there. I slowed on mile 8 - 10 because my son kept texting me. When family calls, I put them first. I've reached the reality of knowing that I have fewer days ahead of me then behind me. I make sure that each day counts to its fullest.

I did not anticipate that I'd be running in snow flurries this morning! I did not see that coming, but those flakes were something else! It was beyond lovely and so much fun!

Long run: Easy pace goal of 11:10

• 2 mi - 11:16 / 4 mi - 11:17 / 6 mi - 10:24 / 8 mi - 10:06 / 10 mi - 10:39 / 12 mi - 10:08 / 14 mi - 10:03 / 16 mi - 9:44

This was an easy, relaxing run. When I realized that my pace was faster than prescribed, I attempted to complete my run in 2:40:00. I missed the mark by about 6:00. It was a fun distraction. It's been awhile since I've run that distance.
