12 Miler Into Work

Left home for a 12 miler today at 7:10.  Headed through Belmont to Fresh Pond and did the loop - popped out at about 5 miles.  Had a good pace through 5 (8:12 or so).  Then ran through more of Belmont - down over Arsenal bridge to the Boston side for a while - about another 8:12 pace through mile 10.  Miles 11 and 12 I slowed up a bit (8:38 or so) - which is fine - I was feeling pretty  hot along the last stretch.  Not bad for (hopefully) the hottest week - certainly made this run and Wednesday's tempo more difficult.  Legs are sore now.  Trying to avoid reaching for the ibuprofen...
