Ran about 7.9 miles in 1:09:14. 8:45 AP. The run was tough because of snow on the ground. I had to run either on unshoveled sidewalks or on the side of the road in 1-2 inches of snow. I'd hop on the clear-but-wet road when cars weren't around, then hop back to the shoulder when they came by. All in all, I was thinking of just doing 4, but I was happy that I pushed through and did almost 8. That's my longest run in the last, oh, 6 years.
I didn't know the exact mile markers since I'm at my FIL's house, but here's the splits of what I considered the mile markers: 9:08, 9:04, 9:03, 5:11 (.66 mile), 5:14 (.66 mile), 8:34, 9:40, 8:39. At this point I thought I had run 8 miles, but my pace/time told me I hadn't. So I ran a bit farther (and uphill) and back for another .5 mile in 4:19.
