Having enough 4-6 mile runs under my belt, I was ready for a run that would last over an hour. Oelz came over, and we set out for the downhill roads heading south through Starmont, and over to H-Town. We kept the pace conversational and comfortable from the get go, and we handled the hill up Colchester without too much work. Instead of heading back to Montclaire, we took a right on Archdale and then took the left down Park Rd. We came back through Seneca after taking a quick look at David's new house. Oelz and I both noticed that the last couple miles seemed to be when lactic acid took effect in our legs. No surprise there.
Miles: ~8
Time: 1.03
Pace: 7:45-8
Tell me more about this lactic acid business Daniel...

lactic acid is when the muscles can't breakdown glucose in the body from lack of oxygen. Since I really wasn't going hard anaerobically, I would say it was more muscle fatigue from having gone farther than normal.
