53º at the start and in just over 2 hours ended at 65º - Good run, but mixed feelings at the end due to fueling. I tried a new brand of gu, chia - supposed to be better for you, good for the belly.... well hogwash... the stuff almost made me puke. I MAYBE got 1/8th of it down at mile 10. This left me reaching for more by the end of the run. Either way, it was a good day, lots of people out. Rowing team by the river, big group at the 'bike hub', 2 people fishing, a large bike group doing a 25 mile ride as well as baby ducks and hissing geese.
Goal was to run the last 10 at MP pace or better. I was feeling good so I did the last 12. 6 Mile warmup and then 7:47, 7:36, 7:34, 7:31, 7:37, 7:36, 7:40, 7:32, 7:31, 7:27, 7:45, 7:00. I needed fuel.
