I need to do plenty more of these

Monday-took the day off since I overslept by almost an hour!

Sunday-We returned from Ocean City, and shortly thereafter DJ and I hit the road for a "long" run of 11.4/11.5.  The plan was to run the first 5.7 loop in between 42:00 and 42:30 and the second one faster, say 40:00.  I essentially wanted to run about 7:30 pace for the first half and 7:00 for the second half.  We reached the 5.7M mark (the stop sign outside my house) in 42:35.  Unfortunately, DJ peeled off.  Argh.  (How is this kid going to get into shape this way?)  I kept going, picking up the pace slightly.  By the time I reached the 8M mark, I felt my vitality wane a bit.  I was struggling, particularly as the 2:30 sun gave us its all.  I arrived home in 83:55, covering the second 5.7 in 41:20, 05 7:15 pace.

I need to do plenty more of these over the next two months.
