21.08 miles out and back from home including Legacy path. Tailwind out, very strong headwind back. I have completed my first 100 mile week. I liked how I felt today, still felt strong the last few miles. I'm pretty sure this is my fastest long run so far. 2:58:53 8:29 ave. I feel pretty good about this run. On the way back into the headwind I had a 9:30 mile, that was all due to the wind, I had been running low to mid 8's up until then. 8:15 7:55 8:10 (a fast start because I was running with someone otherwise these miles would have been 9's, but it worked out because it set the tone for the run, I was going to stay in the 8:15 to 8:30 range after this start) 8:13 8:25 8:47 8:38 8:33 8:27 8:18 8:21 Turn around 8:27 8:26 8:54 9:23 (strong headwinds after the turn around) 8:29 8:36 8:28 8:26 8:43 8:09 I just realized I've run for 26 straight days and 16 prior to that. 42 days of running over the last 43. I'm contemplating taking tomorrow off or at least only run 4 or 5 miles, we'll see. The last 7 weeks have been pretty intense, 3 races and 4 20 milers. |
