Great Day for a Long Run
I went to bed at the same time I would have if I had to get up for work but I had the day off with lots to do including a long run. I got up at 5:30 and worked on home work and ate breakfast. After bringing my 2 grandkids to school I left for a long run at about 8:50. It was a little windy but overall a perfect day to run long. I ended up going 17.1 miles in 2:17:25, an 8:02.2/mi. pace which is the equivalent of a 3:30:28.4 marathon pace. I was running at 6:56/mi pace for my finishing sprint. Needless to say, I felt great the entire run. I feel I need to run a couple of miles before the Manchester Road Race in order to do my best. If I don't warm up I will definitely go slower at the beginning.
