Long Easy Run

This morning I did the next run on my training schedule, which was a 70-min easy run.  I'm still in Grosse Pointe, so I ran down Lakeshore Drive, which goes along Lake St. Clair.  It's pretty, and there's always a bit of a breeze off the lake.   I ran 6.25 mi in 1:12:58, which gave an average speed of 5.14 mph.  This is in line with the easy run speed I have been doing on the treadmill, so that was good.

I might finally be getting the point behind the really easy runs.  It was such a beautiful morning today and such a nice setting, I felt like I could just keep running and running.  The run wasn't killing me, like it sometimes feels like.  I just hope that my speed really does increase like it's supposed to.
