long run tonight of 18.35, felt kinda crappy at the start but slowly morphed into a good run, had to stop several times for traffic, to jump a fence, and to give a lady directions, kind of irritating to break up the rythym, but it happens, my trail was blocked with construction (hence the fence jump), so i had to improvise, otherwise I probably would have got my 20 miles, but i will take almost 18 and a half, time was 2:13:35, 7:17 pace, the way out was a lot quicker cuz of net downhill and wind at my back, it was pretty chilly tonight, mid-40s with 25 mph winds pushing the wc into the mid-30s, tried to eek out a few strides afterwards but I was pretty beat, took an ice bath, will probably rest tomorrow, 57 miles in 5 days this week is wearing on me
