12 miles

What could get me out of bed at 6:15 am on a Saturday? The threat of having to run 2 hours in the middle of a hot summer day. Even at this early hour it was already heating up fast. Started at 68F and ended at 77F. Sunny throughout. No music first loop then put on mp3 player for 2nd 5 miles. Felt mostly strong. Bottoms of my feet felt sore toward end. Slight side stitch on right side about 7 miles in that went away after a while. Beautiful views. Saw squirrels playing, farms with cows, a dead field mouse, and a dead bird.
Splits 55:15 (11:03) for 5.0, 52:28 (10:30) for 5.0), 22:18 (10:37) for 2.1.
