Longest run in a week and half. Was a bit nervous going in about how things would feel as last time I ran this far I was a wobbling mess by the time I got back to the car. Things felt good, but a bit sluggish going out, negetive split and much stronger on the return trip. Cutting my miles and running time down the last 3-4 weeks, it seems it takes me an hour to "warm up". Most of my longer runs feel better after I have been moving for 45-60 minutes. Shorter runs, my legs feel heavy and slow.
13.3 miles, 2100 vert, 8:53 pace, which, for the route, I am totally happy with as there was very little push of the pace at all.
