Plan 14-18 miles
I had originally planned on running a 5k in the somewhere in the duration of this run, but after two very long, emotionally hard days at work and not getting home until after 1:00 am last night, I opted for sleeping in a little and heading out later. I started at 9:45 in shorts! I used my house as a base to eliminate carrying water/gu and I knew I would need pit stops based on how my stomach was feeling. I did 3 out and backs using the same route each time - 7 miles, 6 miles and 3 miles. It was one of those runs that was a grind, but I ended up with better paces than I expected and finished out with some MP miles which was unexpected. All of the outs were into a pretty good headwind.
Splits: Miles 1-7: 8:44, 8:33, 8:33, 8:17m 8:04, 8:11, 8;07,
Miles 8-13: 8:26, 8:24, 8:20, 8:07, 8:11, 8:03
Miles 14-16: 8:03, 8:03, 7:30
2:11:32 / 16 miles / avg pace 8:13
