Notes
18 with 14 @ GMP (7:30ish)
Met with Reed and Mike for this run. I'd say we nailed it. 3 miles warm up, then 14 MP with 1 mile cool down. Average for the 14 MP miles was 7:29. A little slow perhaps, compared to what my race equivs would call for, but also 23 seconds faster than my spring marathon pace.
I felt great until mile 16 when my bowels made it known that a stop would be necessary. I've got to figure this out. Going to rice or pasta exclusively on the nights before big runs from here on out. Stopped, and finished out the last full MP mile (uphill and after a bathroom break).
That really put a damper on what would have otherwise been an awesome run. Ugh.
