Saturday morning and it is long run day. Woke up around 5am, read for an hour and a half and then prepared my gear for a long run. I mapped out a new route last night and everything went as planned. I stuck with keeping hydrated (every 15 minutes) and re-fueled after 45 minutes. Total running time was 1:43:33 and that gives me a 10:03 pace. I wasn't trying to break any records but wanted to come in right around a 10 minute mile. Since my racing goal is between a 9:15 and 9:45 minute mile, I think I am right on track with my plan.
It was 68 degrees when I headed out the door at 7am and the humidity was a factor this morning. Just finished my re-fueling breakfast (yogurt, banana, dried apricots, flax seed and almonds) and now it's time to hit the shower and get cleaned up!
Happy Trails,
John
