16.0 in 1:57:45 (7:22). Started at 5:30 with Mark. Same route as last week (up into Thanksgiving Point), only I turned around at 8. Did 4 miles easy and then started into a 10 miles tempo run. Splits were: 7:20, 7:05, 7:22 (hill), 7:14, 6:54, 6:44, 6:51, 6:51, 6:45, 6:38. Cooled down with 2 more miles to get home. Really good run for me and a good confidence booster. The last two miles were tough and I had to really focus to keep them on target. Those middle miles just felt good though and I got into a really good rhythm. Upper body is really sore from Crossfit last night. Crossfit. 3 rounds of 800 m run, 30 box jumps, 30 russian kettle bell swings (70 lbs). I was dying on this workout, mainly due to the long run this morning and the crossfit workout last night. The kettle bell swings did me in.
