Ran on a dirt road with a few different people.  I run much better with a group, all I could think about when I was running by myself was that my feet were hurting from my new shoes.  Then came along a group of three ladies from my home town's track club and I ran with them the last 5mi and the pain in my feet went away.

My legs are still sore, so I took it real easy.

Nice weather, low 70's and when the sun came up it was overcast.  The first 30min of my run were in the dark, but the sun came up as I was entering the woods.  I had to plan it that way.  I ran on an AF base, so don't have to worry about homeless people, but there are critters in the woods.

The first loop was great, then my feet started to hurt on the second loop, so I switched shoes for the 3rd and 4th.  I ran a technical trail by myself and became pretty bored after running for more than 3 hrs.  Between my feet killing me and my boredom, I had to cut the last loop short.  I will now try to do part of my long run with someone else.  Other than that, nice overcast day, fairly cool compared to how it has been.
