Running long 1:09:49 [2] 6.85 mi (10:12 / mi) +100m 9:45 / mi

I guess this is what those in the biz call a "recovery run," although I'm far less sore than I expected to be after the Ramble. I went meandering around Bridle Trails, loosely running the reverse of the 2012 WIOL Course 7. This on the theory that if you're going to run slow, you might as well run slow while paying lip service to the directives of a map. I own you, map! I make decisions now!

My goal was to maintain a perfectly constant pace, as if on a tempo run, while keeping extremely close map contact and planning ahead at all times. I mostly succeeded - just a couple of two-step slowdowns at trail intersections after losing concentration and letting the mind wander.
