22 miles in 2:43:45, 7:26/mi, HR 155. Two lap long run up and down the road today. Sunny and warm with starting temps around 50 but quickly climbed to 75F in the sun. First lap easy but wound up with 11 miles in 1:22:27, 7:29/mi average pace...probably a tad aggressive. Got some Ultima at the 11 mi and 13 mi mark as I headed back up the street for lap 2. Started feeling a bit dehydrated on the return leg and got a tad bit spacey but managed to maintain speed and most of form finishing the second 11 mile lap in 1:21:18, 7:23/mi pace. Felt good about this run because I think I could've held my pace thru the last 4.2 and finished in around 3:13 or so which is only about 1 minute off my PR (not that that was my goal for the run, but...). Plus, this is my second 80+ mile week in a row, a record for me. May marathon here I come!!! Brooks Adrenaline (Yellow) - 409 miles.
