AM - Started thinking about doing this run yesterday sometime. Wasn't sure I was going to try it until I started actually doing it. As always it got tough in the 5-7 mile range when it felt like time was just standing still. Somehow made it through it and then it just got easier to complete it took until mile 9 before I decided I was going to do the full run I had come up with. (Anyone can set a PR on a TM it's just how much pain you can endure and no I don't think this is a "PR" by any means) 2 mile warm up 14:53 13.1 "Tempo" 1:18:46 basically a full minute faster than my fastest HM. Tempo is a little loose here because it was a touch outside my comfort zone right now. HR did creep a little higher than I would have liked but as always legs go numb and was able to just feel the pace until the end. 1 mile cool down 7:30 Probably the last honest effort at any type of a distance that I will do before Boston. There might be 1 more but not this length or effort just a bunch of short speed reps. PM - 8.38 Lunch shakeout
