Notes
Didn't get going early partly because the wife wanted to go grocery shopping, partly cause I was a little hung over from yesterday. Went pretty easy at 7 min pace. Did an out and back course. The miles I knew I was clipping off right between 6:52-7:00 min. I hit 10 miles about 10 seconds under 70 minutes but I felt good. I started a long grind home trying to build the pace. I kept pushing from the turn around. I hit 15 miles in 1:42 and tried to carry that pace home. I was doing great and hit 19 miles at 2:07 and crawled home with my last mile just barely under 7 but still ran the last 5 at 32 min. I am exhausted. This was the kind of long run I need/needed. I would like about 3-4 more of these before the marathon but that's not happening. My legs felt good (till the last mile) despite the race yesterday. Another good solid week in.
