Notes
Great long run. Was expecting it to be about 17.75-18mi but as I measured it it came out to 18.25. Headed south from my apt straight down President to the IPP. Took the path east until it met up with the Great Western Trail and then took that back home. Added on past president to Schmale at the end to make sure I got a full 2 hours in. Normally the couple of miles heading east on the Great Western trail back from 355 to my apt are a real struggle but I was able to maintain a solid pace without feeling like I was killing myself, that's super encouraging. Especially after Monday when I was questioning how much my fitness had really improved over the winter because the hill workout felt so hard.
