Good weekend running

Thank You so much for the kind words after my wreck. Things are moving very slowww with the insurance. It sucks!! Still don't have the stupid accident report from a week ago. Frustrating... No report, no new car.. The truck doesn't look that bad, but then again it is 5000 lbs. Everyone elses was much worse! What you don't see is the underneath- bent frame, broken axle, broken transmission, broken exhaust caused by driving OVER the second car and guardrail. The insurance deemed this a total loss. I was going to buy a new vehicle anyway and give this to my son when he turned 16, so much for that... sry, can you tell I'm aggravated? :)
Moving along....
What do you think about this weather? 50 to 60 and sunny all week! oops at least in the Southeast of US. "It's a site for sore eyes!"
I hadn't planned on running on Sat due to my long run on Sunday, but it was too pretty outside not to. I completed a nice 5 mile tempo run and even got a little sun during the run. Going into today, I was afraid that I was going to be too tired to run 10 miles. I made sure to prefuel before the run for fear of bonking. Another gorgeous sunny 60 deg day. I've been so accustom to running in 35-40 deg that 60 deg felt a bit too hot. haha (listen to me complain about sunny and 60.) I took off and the first 1/2 mile was so damn tiring , but by the 2.5 mile mark I was cruising. I made sure to run 30 seconds slower this week than last. At the 45 min mark I ate a bag of sports beans-(love those things) and at the 70 min mark I ate a Gue gel(chocolate mint.) I was getting tired at the 7.5 mile mark, but then I passed a girl running group of 5 that were rather giddy. All 5 lined up and put out their hands and "high-fived" me as they were running and gave shouts of encouragement. You can tell that they had "fresh legs" and were having a good time. It reminded me of playing basketball back in high school/college and slapping hands at the beginning of a game. haha That's why I love running and the camaraderie that goes along with it. That encounter left me with a pep in my step. It took my mind off my body hurting (It's all between the ears!) and the next 4.5 miles went great! I finished with 11.34 miles!!!! 1hr 57 mins 30 secs. for a 10:22 avg. Minus last years Cades Cove runs this is my 3rd longest run this era in time and distance. Feeling good right now about it!
Questions/observations
Up to the "silly girls" encounter I was avg 11min/mile (long, slow) but the last 4.5 was at 10min/mile. There was an article in this months Runners World magazine about whether you are a "waver" or a"nonwaver." I am definitely a "high-fiver, "doing great", nodding smiling fool. Yes and I wave too. I had an encounter like this last year that really helped me get through a run and also an encounter that helped a guy get through his run. What do you think? Are you a waver or not ?

Tomorrow is weigh in time and my fingers are crossed.
Have a good week!
