Okay, this run was more like it. Granted, it was in the morning (roughly 845am to 945am) so it was cooler, but I was also much more in control and running like I was while training for CBR. I kept my HR in range and slowed down when it was getting over 170. This resulted in a slowdown on the first half of the course (all uphill) and of course a speed-up on the back half. A little fast for a true LSD, but I'm not really "training" right now, so that's fine.

Ran for the first time with my new Ironman sunglasses I bought from Target the day before. They functioned very well (they have slats to prevent fogging - which worked) but I was constantly having to take them off to wipe my brow. I think the only way I'll be able to get by with these is when I'm wearing a headband, as it was just too annoying to constantly take them off. They'll definitely get use when I'm biking though.
