18 miles in 2:23:47, 7:59/mi, HR 149.  

Tried to take it nice and easy today.  Seemed to be working, except somehow the overall pace seems high in retrospect.  Did stop at around 7.5 for a few minutes to talk with a neighbor, which made starting again a bit tough (got a bit cold and stiff), but felt pretty good throughout.

Decided if I felt up to it to go run a race tomorrow, either a 10k or a 1/2 marathon.  It'll be an early rising time for me (~ 5am), but I'm feeling the need to let the horses loose.  I just hope after 2 moderately difficult workouts I have something left.  Probably not PR material, and probably not my smartest move, but I'm just feeling like I need to go run a race, so I think I will.

Time to retire this pair of shoes.

I was about to worry after not seeing your blog update earlier this evening. Good luck with tomorrow's race.

Good luck if you race Dale, after such a long run it's a courageous move. You retire your shoes early, I try and make mine last about 1500k.

Good luck today!

Thanks all. Evidently it worked...just posted my race report. Very unexpected.
