Today's long run was 16 miles. It was hard and painful but I did it. My first 6 miles I ran with Stuart from my group Johann, one of our coaches suggested I run with him I did. We kept it easy. The lakefront was crowded due to the Air and Water Show this weekend. Still we managed ok.
After 6 miles I used a port-a - pottie, and sent Stuart on his way. I would not see him again until mile 12. I was fine with that. I sped up a bit, but never zoomed with speed. At the mile 12 point I decided to head home from there, which is about 4 miles. I did the 16 miles in 3:22:44. Considering my half marathon race PR is 2:59, I say that is a damn fine time. Today's half marathon tiem was 2:43. Mile 14 was a speedy mile, and then I was pooped as I ran/walked the rest of the way.
I am so sore! But it feels good to know I got this run under my belt.
