20 miles in 2:30:53, 7:32/mi, HR 151. Clouds and sun and rain and sleet and cold, oh my. Foul weather has returned, displacing our sunny 60F days with more typical winter craziness. Fortunately, it didn't impact my run much. Decided to run my normal route twice, keeping the first out and back easy and letting loose a bit on the second. Felt pretty good the entire time, only feeling a lack of energy in the last few miles (only one powerade stop at mi 11). Since this closes another fairly high mileage week for me and one with two tough workouts, I feel pretty darned good about this effort and feel like the sub-3 is well within reach. New orthotics I got yesterday definitely helping with the left foot (ball of foot) pain issue I've had for a while now. Evidently keeping the weight off my 3rd metatarsal is a good thing. Congrats to the Del Sol team! Smokin' fast time and win!
