I ran an unspecified distance around some nearby neighborhoods and on streets, it was my first time running on roads and it felt pretty odd... I'm much more comfortable on my bike on roads. I guess I feel less vulnerable with my bike under me. I ran the loop I had chosen in an okay amount of time, about 40 minutes, actually it was kinda slow, but I didn't feel at all tired at the end and could have continued at that pace forever it seemed. Drove the loop with my car later and it was 3 miles, so it was better than i was fearing and worse than I'd hoped!
Still, about 2 miles more than I had run the last time I ran in that area, and I didn't have to stop at all the entire time... it was a good way to wake up!
So that's 11 miles total for me this week! Woo!
