22 miles at 6:31 pace. This run really kicked my butt. I had to wait till afternoon naps to get it in, and it was warm and a little muggy. 80F + 61F dew point. Could be worse, but I went into the run dehydrated, and because I was feeling good and already had one pit stop, I decided to skip my 5-mile water stop. Not good. Didn't take any water until 13 miles in (why doesn't New Orleans have more water fountains?), but I was wilting by 12. The water helped big time, however by 2 hours into the run I was counting down the steps to be done. Better to make these mistakes in training than in the real thing.
115 is a mileage PR. Aside from a minor flare up of my peroneal tibial tendon from Thursday's workout, everything is holding up pretty well. This is my first cycle where I'm working in lower-intensity/higher-mileage weeks, and I like how it's working out.
