LSR in the Fog

This week I ran my long run a day early and was lucky enough to have Marcy and Jay join me. The weather was really weird this AM. The temps were in the 50s, but it was really humid and foggy out there. We took off at 5:45 from RunTex and headed east on the trail. Marcy had already run from RunTex Lake Austin so she was 2+ miles into the run when she joined us. The east side of I-35 was really dark due to the fog and you couldn't see any of the downtown buildings. We stopped for water at the Holly Power Plant and headed on. Once we got to the other side of I-35 the sun started rising so we could see a bit better. We got passed by the bomb run folks who blew by us. We got water at the Rock and then headed up the trail that runs parallel to MoPac up to Exposition. From there we headed across to Lake Austin Blvd and down to Veterans where Marcy finished. Jay and I got water at the Rock and then headed back to Auditorium Shores. We did 6 strides and called it a day. I headed to the gym, did a light stretch, and then off to the office. It is nice to get the weekly LSR over with early for possibly a couple of days off. I am feeling a little beat up, but it is probably just due to running hard yesterday and then longer today.
