12 miler

First long run since running a half marathon on 7/7/07, 12 miles. Judy was going to be running 12 miles as well, so we got up early to try to beat the heat a bit, ran out on the Katy Trail, starting in St Charles, running southwest 6 miles and then back. Went pretty good - 12 miles in 2:09:27, splits of 10:42, 10:49, 10:39, 10:23, 10:39 (first gu), 10:17, 10:49, 10:23, 10:48, 11:42 (second gu and a bit of walking), 10:14, and finished with a 11:57, sorta coasted in to cool off a bit. Avg Heart Rate for the run was 168, crept up thru the run as the temp went up. After cooling off a bit, I walked about 1.5 miles while waiting for Judy to get back to the car, seemed to actually help a bit with keeping my legs from hurting and such, they feel pretty good. Onward!
