Met Matt for a loop around the bay this morning. Got started right on time (5:45) and for the second week in a row, I actually managed to keep a slow and steady pace through most of the run. The bridges were no big deal (they never are until late in the run after I ran them like they were no big deal only to discover they in fact were...) mainly because I didn't try to attack them like normal. I'm finally learning how to run long runs instead of trying to race them. I'm learning that race speed comes during the weekly tempo/intervals/ or hill repeats NOT during your long runs. We actually ran negative splits the last 4 miles and finished the last mile in the 7:50's. Great run.
