Pointless Long Run

At the end of March, I did my last long run before "Goldy's Run 10 Mile" in early April (as seen in this post). I shared this map of my route along the edge of Como Park:

I ran that main north/south segment FOUR times, as well as that east/west bit on Jessamine.

On Tuesday, I did my first long run SINCE "Goldy's Run," and I went back all through Como Park:

This one had a lot more "wandering," along with 2 loops around Lake Como.

It truly was weird. I hadn't done "just" a moderate long run in a LONG time. Usually I do faster miles in the middle. Here, I just ran. About 6 out of my last 7 long runs (before this one) average sub-7:00 pace including the easy and the fast miles. This run averaged a consistent 7:10 pace.
