Notes
Decided that I would go at 6 minute pace as long as I could. I thought mmaybe 3-4 miles but after 3 miles it got easy and so I decided to crank the pace down the last two miles ending at 5:46 pace feeling fairly strong. I'm back! Three hard days in a row!
On a side not top 6 hardest long runs (no particular order):
13 the first time I did it as a sophomore in HS in about 2:00 around thanksgiving
16 with Euge the first time we did XXL in 2:04
17 the first time I did paxton towers, the 6:55 pace + summer heat hurt me
18 the first time I did it on Gold hill ending with 9 miles up hill and lots of walking* this is the hardest long run I've done to date
16 miles 1/7/08 in the rain storm
15 this past sunday
