Run home from work - 8 miles

Instead of waiting to go home to do my run, I decided to run home from work. I mapped a route on the Gmap-Pedometer website and it came out to about 7.5 miles so I just added a few extra blocks at the end. Started pretty slow and felt awful half way throught but then I just picked up the pace and notch and I felt way better. Towards the end of my run I had the big hill on Broadway in Everett which is about 1/4 of a mile long and was really thinking about taking another turn to avoid it but that would had made my run about 1/2 mile shorter so I just decided to face it and run up the thing. It wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. The weather was ok, just a bit windy around the water. In any of the stops I made for the traffic lights I happened to push the wrong button on my watch and restarted the timing, so I not sure how long it took me to complete the 8 miles.
