Today I made another trip to Grosse Pointe. I decided to get some mileage in today as a casual long run. My philosophy on increasing mileage is that you have to train your legs first to be active for a certain period of time before they will be alright with running hard for a long distance.
We met at the wonderful GP woods park for an 8 miler. The run was basically down mack for a bit until we decided to run down lakeshore. We kept a pretty steady pace right around 8:50-9 min miles. The run ended up being a little over nine miles which really was a nice little running bonus. The company was wonderful and we talked about everything and anything. Cathartic mind cleansing runs are always great for the soul especially on days when the weather is so nice. The only issue was a stretch with 0 shade and sun that seemed to have intentions to cook me. All in all this was a great training run and my third in GP for the week!
