Notes
Planned long run of 20 miles at 8:38 (MP+45). Finished 1 hour swimming lesson and then did run... Was a bit nervous how that would play out... legs were tired from kicking for Cliff. Was fortunate to have Michelle and McCullough along for the run. We started out a pretty leisurely pace from the Y up the gradual inclince to the store at the foot of Mousum. Greg and Michelle bought water and energy bar. I took first eGel there at 5.5 miles. Continued on 109 up the long hill to the Potting Shed and turned right on Goose Pond Rd. Some decent hills. Connected to Rte 11 in Shapleigh and ran to Shapleigh Corner. Did 2nd eGel at 11 miles. Stopped at Shapleigh Corner Store for Pee break for all three. Store owner gave us water! Up momma hill from Shap Corner heading back to Mousum. Nice, Fast down hill for about 3 miles. I picked it up here to bring down average pace for whole run. Picked up Greg and Robins waters at the store and headed back to Y down 109. Michelle was pretty pooped by mile 16 but did an awesome job staying strong to the end. She had originally said she was running only 8!!! Picked it up into Springvale and down to Y. Legs were getting tired. Did thrid/final eGel at mile 16. Overall happy with the run. Felt I could have gone faster overall, but the average pace was what I needed and hit fine! Off tomorrow to Boston to see my little girl!!!!
