Notes
Decent long run -- definitely better than last week's, by a long way. Felt *very* strong for the first couple miles, which I probably went way too fast for. Slowed significantly on the way back. Physically, felt good, although right groin was slightly noticeable in the returning miles at times, and right hamstring was slightly noticeable after the run. Don't think anything serious there, though.
Splits (positive splits -- went out too fast and paid for it in the last few miles):
1:24:03 total for out (9:15 pace for 9.09 miles)
(~1:03:00 for first 6.83 miles of out = 9:13 pace)
(~21:03 for second 2.26 miles of out = 9:19 pace)
1:29:54 for second half (__ pace for 9.18 miles)
(~23:01 for first 2.38 miles of in = 9:40 pace)
(~1:06:53 for second 6.80 miles of in = 9:50 pace)
