Notes
Solo long run, felt pretty good. Feet hurt a bit. Hamstring got a little sore the last 20 minutes. Hit the first gate at 11:01, the bridge in 22:38, the 30 minute point in 29:16, 5 miles in 36:10, and turned around at 43:37. So I split 39:57 on the way back. I was only trying to run about a 2 minute negative split, and was on pace to almost even split it, until I heard a booming crack of thunder and it started to rain right about when I hit the bridge on the way back. It took me 22:38 to get there but only 19:55 to get back from there, so most of the negative split came in the last 20 minutes, and mostly because I didn't want to be in a thunderstorm (though the rain let up and the sun was out by the time I finished.) I wasn't too wrecked afterwards which means I'm adjusting to 12-milers (finally.) Good run. Highest mileage week ever. Next week I'm going to take a down week and get some good quality in.
