19.10 in 2:33:34 (8:02). Not the fastest run this morning, but I wanted the mileage more than anything. I'm feeling very under trained for Boston, which is not that far away. It is looking more and more like Boston will be a glorified long run for me, which is fine. Started out this morning at 5:30ish. Ran Pioneer Crossing over into A.F. and then hit the old Alpine Highway. Went up into Highland/Alpine and then hit the main road up by Kohlers that takes you out to the freeway. I did a lot of meandering around to add mileage. Eventually made it to the Smiths Mktplace and stopped to fuel up. Headed on back home via 300 West and Center St. Actually held up really well, and it helped to take things easy for most of the run. Miles 14 to the end were all in the 7:30s or low 7:40s, which I was pleasantly surprised about. This is my longest run in quite some time. Hoping to lift a bit later on.
