The Night RVP Saved Jimmys

May 20, 2017 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Low 60s

Comments:
So tonight before my long run, Jimmy's got surprisingly busy and I had to jump in beyond my hosting duties and bus, food run, host, and dishwash. I was going absolute ham and felt like Gandalf at the end of the Two Tower or John Wick in general. So fun backstory.

But anyways, I did my long right after. I ran a 10 mile out and back from the high school to the gas station over the border. I kept the run decently easy and was averaging low to high 6:50s for most of the way. I felt really good during the run, although I felt a weird shoulder pain a little before mile 7 but it went away after a mile.

The only other issue was that it was a late night run and very dark when I wasn't on the high way. In the darker area on the way back, I had to jump off of the road and almost hit a poll because of some late night stoners with their brights on. But like running-wise, I felt really good so that was great. Good first long run back!
