4.5 miles at 9:55 pace

I'm pretty pleased with that. I was planning for between 3 and 6 miles. As it turns out my loop on Bayshore Blvd happened to go 2.25 miles before the walkway ended. True, I could have overshot my starting point by a half mile or more and looped back...essentially making two seperate out and back loops, but I didn't...here's why:
I about killed my sister, who hasn't run since August. She dropped out less than a mile into today's run. So, I didn't want to take too much longer than her. I managed to pick her back up on my return, but she still wasn't hanging with me. I wasn't worried about either of us having a great run. Afterall, we were just out there to reduce stress, not train, so it wasn't that important to go far today. Also, the sun, heat, and humidity along the Bay are insane. Luckily the wind wasn't like it was in February.
At any rate. The run was good overall. We escaped the ICU for an hour, blew off some steam, and I still managed to knock out the longest run since my ankle broke.
