14 miles and a nice ass! :P

I love my Sunday runs!  And they are finally starting to get longer.  Today was a 14 mile slow and easy run.  And during my Sunday runs, I just like looking around at all of the cool things that I don't notice every day.  Like this house.  I love it!!  Just so small town and friendly with all of the plants and the flag and cross.

I ran by my sweet donkey friend at about mile 8.  He is so cute.  But today he was way across the field.  But when I clicked my mouth a couple of times, he came running to see me.  :D

And he let me pet him today.  I think I should give him a name but for now I just call him Donkey.  Such a nice ass!!  :P

At mile 10 I realized I was completely out of water so I did what I had to do ... stopped at a random house and borrowed some water from their spigot. 

And then there was a mile or so of just country stuff.  I thought this fence and flowers looked pretty.

About mile 12 I realized it was really, really hot and I was glad the run was close to being over.  My face was bright red and I was starting to get goosebumps from the sweat. Was getting a little lightheaded too so I slowed it down some the last 2 miles.

Mile 14 ended at the lake so I stopped for a minute to cool down before I walked the quarter mile to my house.

It was a good run but the heat got me the last couple of miles.  I guess I still need to get up early for these long runs until it starts to cool down a little.  It was in the 90's by the time I finished my run.  I like to keep Sunday runs between a 9:30 and 10:00 pace.  Average pace today was 9:43 so that was good.

Tomorrow is my rest day so I'll post my weekly summary.
