From the book I was listening to on my 10 miler today.

The book is called This Book Will Save Your Life by A.M Homes

“There are 2 kinds of politicians. The kind that have sex and the kind that have wars. Which kind do you prefer?”

The run was okay. Avg pace 10:34. I guess that is getting to be for real for me and that’s a good thing. This run was a reminder that it is important to get enough to eat the night before (don’t go to a fundraiser where you sample foods from various restaurants, never getting much to eat at all) and be well hydrated (skip the wine) and take something with you like Gu. Other than having to stop at Safeway at mile 8 to get a SuperFood I did fine.

Next long run will be longer and I’ll be better prepared.

Addendum: Motion Based says my pace was 10:18. I love MotionBased now owned by Garmin.

Total  Time (h:m:s)  2:01:13 11:47 pace
Moving Time (h:m:s)  1:46:24 10:18 pace
Distance (mi ) 10.33
Moving Speed (mph) 5.8 avg. 26.7 max.
Elevation Gain (ft) +1,790 / -1,818 

I stopped once to use the bathroom and once to get some nutrition. Our Lady of Garmin knows all.

    Sounds like an interesting book. Since my hubby is in the military, I prefer politicians who have sex. Great job on your run.

    No good comes from war. Sex is another story.
