Notes
Started out nice and slow today and it really paid off. I did hit the lap button though so my mile splits are not that accurate but we were consistently running in the upper 13's the whole way. Actually we ran about an even split. I remember looking down at my watch at the 7 mile turnaround and seeing that we had run it in 1:36:xx and when we finished we were not too far off from that. Maybe even a slightly negative split but really not by much.
I'm really pleased with how well this run went. The long runs are getting easier and easier as time goes on. I'm sure all the other miles I'm putting in helps. I was completely comfortable the whole time and never let my breath get out of control. That in iteself is a huge step forward for me. When I finished this run I felt like I could have gone out and done more. Wohoo!!!!!
