Notes
Out with DW again. This time got in the long run at the Morton Arboretum. They all wanted to keep it rather easy for various reasons. I was pretty content with that. Most of the group were going about 12, and I wanted to hit something like 16. Figured I'd probably run alone for the last few miles. Thats not what happened.
The most of the run was pretty standard. Temps were great and I actually had people to run with. At about mile 11.5 A group of 2 guys had broken off and were about 200m ahead. Kyle informed me that they were running 15miles.
I decided to pick it up a bit to catch them. When I caught them, they informed me that they were picking up. That was great because I want to start implementing my tempos into my long runs and do interval workouts during the week. So I agreed and we steadily picked up. It was hella hilly the last few miles so it was tough to keep a consistent pace, but the effort was definitely picked up. I made it out 16 and decided to turn in and cool down 1 mi back to the start. Solid day.
Longest run ever.
