Sunday 12 mile run

Tapering down, so 12 mile long run. Woke up and it was raining and insanely windy. Decided not to run so went back to bed. In the afternoon, things started clearing off a bit - the rain was over, but it was still fairly windy, so we drove up to the Page extension parking lot and ran on the Katy Trail, going northeast past downtown St Charles and back. I walked a mile before and a mile after as well. Total time was 2:01:15, avg pace of 10:06, AHR of 157, so fairly easy run. I was wearing pants and long sleeves, so at time it felt warm, but I was glad with what I wore when the wind kicked in. Splits of 9:58, 10:07, 10:11, 10:09, 10:11, 10:10, 10:09, 10:12, 10:11, 10:04, 10:08 and 9:41. Took 1 minute walk breaks all miles but first and last, so was running at a consistent pace. Heart rate stayed fairly consistent throughout the run, with the max being 164. Glad we were able to get the run in.
