Long Run

Today I had a pretty good long run.  Good in the sense that I was constantly challenged, and my body adapted to the challenges.   The run started with a group of about 7 of us.  Some of us were planning on running 14, and others (myself included) planned on 18.  A few of the 14 milers set a fast pace early on.  I decided to try to hang.  I was able to hang on pretty well along with the one other runner who was running 18.   I think we were both a little shocked when all of the 14 milers decided to cut it short, and run more like 11-12 miles.  Their loss – we continued on our mission, and we didn’t even drop the pace too much.  Finished up the 18 miler with an average pace of 7:28 min/mile.  Not too shabby.
