Week 1, Day 1

I did my long run today in the Great Dismal Swamp Park. Yes, that is it's real name. The park is very historical because it was part of the Underground Railroad. I thought a lot about those slaves while running today. It was 95 degrees and the humidity was so high that I walked at 3 miles, 6 miles and every mile after until 10. I didn't turn my watch off when I walked, so my time was still pretty good.

Average Pace: 8:40
