Notes
I have splits for this one. I tried to be as accurate as possible but I'm not entirely sure. Surprisingly taking splits through most of the run proved to be very motivating.

So that was 10 miles in 1:31:48 and I was feeling very good. However it made me a bit nervous with the 10 miles to go so I started slowing down.

9:52
38:51 - I forgot where the next mile marker was but I knew when I had four miles to go. This is a four-mile split if that wasn't clear enough.
9:41
9:04 - Felt great during this mile.
10:23 - Walked during this one....HA.....amazing how quickly you can go in the tank.

20 miles is a long way and this run certainly builds confidence. I'm not sure if I'm ready but this was my last long run before the taper so I guess I'll trust my training. It should be quite the experience whatever happens.
