Long run down the course today. Started at the bottom of Veyo hill and ran to the finish line at the park. It ended up only being 18.75 so Aaron, Hayden (fresh home from his mission), and I extended over to DSC and back. Mike and Billy dropped us off and after a couple miles Aaron decided to tempo it in. LowGain and I just ran chit chat chill pace all the way home. Never tried to tempo- didn't want to. I was just happy to hit a long run at the end of a 100 mile week. Ended up running the 20 miles in 2:08:00 or a 6:25 overall avg. Pretty respectable but nothing that says anything about where or how the ankle would hold "racing" a full marathon. Every run this week has been a rough grind so today was a nice break. Just felt smooth and relaxed and I really needed a run like that. Plus it wasn't as hot and muggy as it's been and that makes a big difference. |
