I've been bad about skimping on my long runs.  Always finding an excuse to cut them short.  It's time to rededicate myself to more serious training and putting in the miles that I should.  After cutting yesterday's run short, I decided to get in a decent long run today.  Besides, I had to test out my new Amphipod that I bought myself for Christmas.  Tried to keep the pace around 8:00/mile throughout the run.  The pace varied with the terrain but were pretty consistent for the most part (averaged 7:51/mile).  I kind of miss those 2+ hour runs where you have lots of time to think.

Sounds like a nice run Andy. Hope you ran up high enough to see the sunshine.

What Amphipod did Santa bring you?

If you want to go for a much slower long run one of these weekends, let me know. Or if you want company on one of your faster routes, let me know.

I got the Amphipod with 4 8 oz bottles. I really like how the weight is distributed more evenly than just a single bottle. I struggled a little pulling the bottles out of the clips. It will probably get easier as I figure it out. The last time we ran together you almost killed me.

That's a great long run. I've been skimping too.
