circling the circle city

It was another beautiful day today...it started out at a nice cool 61 degrees. It was the "usual" group getting together for our long run, this time meeting downtown at Andy's place. We walked over to the trail head for the Monon as our warm up and then began our run. We once again were trying to keep it at an easy pace and settled into a very comfortable 10:00/mile pace. We followed the Monon north about six miles up to Broadripple Village where we picked up the Central Canal Towpath. We followed this southwest for 5 miles to pick up the White River Trail and proceeded to head south for another 4 miles. Once we hit New York Street it was just an easy 2 miles to our finish at Veterans Memorial Park where we dipped out feet in the cold water of the fountain. It felt won-der-ful. Here's the breakdown of our miles...pretty consistant pace, so we are getting better. I felt really good when finished, a little tired, but not wiped out. I liked the last mile, we still had some gas in the tank...
