Yesterday was a very full day and there was no way I was going to be able to squeeze a run in. I seriously considered skipping the long run for this week but do not want to get in the habit of missing runs. Drove to the LPT and headed out for a 17 miler. Was afraid that I was going to be tired but as soon as I started the run I felt good. The pace was very comfortable and everything was moving well. There was a slight headwind and I had a little heart burn but other than that everything was perfect. I made the turn around and it seemed that I had a headwind going back, too. How did that happen? The pace naturally quickened a little and I was having a great time. Got a little spunky towards the end and ran the last 2 miles in 6:50 and 6:34.
