Long distance run today, from my home almost to the Santa Teresa airport. I chose this route in particular because of the low traffic, long legs, and non-trivial climb at the end. The actual distance from my house to the halfway point is 10.4 km, but I decided to stop at a convenience store to go to the bathroom and drink some water. I stopped for about ten minutes, walked a few hundred meters, and concluded my run. Without delving into the details, I analyzed my run by partitioning it into 3 segments each way. This component of the run had the first five, and my pace (time/km) was:
1. 5.06
2. 5:24 (some rolling hills)
3. 6:09 (basically all the climb was here, an ascent to a plateau)
4. 5:30 (descent down the plateau)
5. 5:36
My hamstrings and back feel sore, and the arch of my left foot is tight. Apart from that, I felt strong throughout the run. I had hoped to run up the road that crosses the mountain in El Paso (creatively named "Transmountain road") with a run of about 10 km and over 500 meters of climb, but that may be unwise. I will decide based on how I feel later in the week (I currently expect not to run).

The run home from the convenience store (leg six of my run). I slowed near the end to cool down.
