We were supposed run 15 miles today. It ended up being an accidental 19.3 mile long run. A miscalculation caused us to run an extra 4 miles today. The run gave me a big boost. It was probably my best run of the 2015. I did an 8 mile tempo in the middle of the run. Splits 6:40, 6:40, 6:43, 6:49 6:55, 7:28 (struggled in the Canyon wind), 7:00, 6:45. I'm happy with my first longer tempo. The overall run AP was 7:26. Only a couple weeks ago I was doing a 15 miler with Angie and Sariah and really struggled with 7:30 pace. Today I felt much stronger before and after the tempo.
