11.04 miles.1:16:19 (6:54/mile) 161 BPM average heart rate. Started with a 1.5 mile warmup during which I ran past a parked car in a curious portion of road. I looked over and saw knees and a bright-eyed, surprised boy staring at me. This couple was obviously engaged in some sort of "extracuricular" activities (at 5:30 am mind you). I was so tired on the way back that I was staring at the ground and didn't realize I was running by the car again. Luckily they were asleep in their respective seats. After the warmup, I did a 4.5 mile tempo run (6:21, 6:19, 6:18, 6:17, 3:10) followed by a 3-4 minute rest and then another 2 mile tempo (6:16, 6:13). Felt pretty good. I was pretty tired after the first set, but felt like it was easier the second set and I was more relaxed. Kept about a 7:30 pace the rest of the way.
