15.06 mile long run at 7:41 pace. This run was comfortable, but not jogging. I did this run without using any chews or fuel along the way, but I did stage a water bottle to drink at the start of mile 11. I felt very comfortable and could have had a conversation with someone pretty much the whole run. I intentionally did a shorter long run this week and didn't push the pace because I wanted a short recovery time. I felt so good that I probably could have gone at least three miles longer, even without fuel. I am just a couple weeks away from starting my 18 week training program leading up to an October marathon.
The soreness on the outside of my right foot was negligible. I think it was just a temporary thing that passed quickly.
67 degrees at the start of the run, low 70s by the end. Not super humid.
