24 miles at 5:30 am, not on a treadmill. It took a few miles before running on the road felt normal. For a little while It felt funny that I was moving forward, and the ground wasn't moving backwards. The weirdness of running on the road for the first time in a week shows by my mile splits for the first few miles. I was also taking it easy, knowing that i had 24 miles ahead and didn't want to start out too quick. It was dark for the first few miles, so I couldn't see what my mile splits were, but when I saw that mile 4 was around 8:15 I was a little surprised at how slow I was going. I guess it is better to start slow and be able to finish than to start fast and blow up at the end. The only thing memorable about this run is at 22.83 miles I thought I got shot in my right hip. It was only for 1 step, but it hurt BAD!!! After that it was a little sore, but nothing like the initial pain. My pace for this weeks long run was 18 seconds slower a mile than last weeks long run, but this week was all out and back, and last week I had 600 feet decline over 22 miles, so I am not concerned.
