Early Long Run

I got up at 7am to go on a long run this morning. I ran about 8.52 miles (I mapped it to the best of my memory) in 1 hour, 11 minutes and 6 seconds. It was a pretty random run. I mean what else can you do if you plan to run 70 minutes. The first part of the run I felt really tired and slow, but soon I was awake and running strong. It felt pretty good and it was a pleasant morning (mid 70s) with a slight overcast. Well, I'm off to finish painting the front of the house. Have a great Sunday!! :-)

Average Pace: 8:18 per mile. Still looking for a metronome!
Number of Intervals: about 8.52 mile run around the neighborhood and the neighborhood across the street.
Aches and Pains: a little tired at first
Breakthroughs:
Age of Shoes:
about 2 months

Alright...so I was planning on running a 5K and first, making it under 30 minutes....is that too slow for me? I ran that 10K in 1 hour and 10 minutes I think, but I Did walk a lot. I think I remember hitting 30 minutes at the 3 mile marker, however, that was knowing that I had over 3 miles left to run still. Ive been running every day, so Im hoping I wont feel so bad in a few weeks.

ok how accurate is that map my run? I swear I have used my car to check mileage and its not matching up.
