This run should have taken place on Saturday morning but my daughter was headed out of the country to spend sa semester studying at Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires, Argentina that afternoon. It became a rush of last minute things that needed to be done. She got off on to her trip well but I ran out of time for a run. Oh well.
So Sunday morning became the long run day. This means I will have two long runs this week. Lets see how the body fares. I will reduce my training from two to one track session this week to accomodate.
The run was on a hilly course (home -farmington and back) that did push me more than I anticipated. I ran the 16 miles too close to marathon pace. I couldn't find my garmin so I was going on feel. My left knee was very sore at the end of the run, probably due to the uneven surface of the edge of the road.
Total time: 2:12
Average pace: 8:15 per mile
