18.52 mi, 2:56:16, 9:31 avg, HR 134 bpm
Afternoon noon after getting back from the cruise. Kind of worried I wouldn't get started in time. Weather was great, mid 50's I think. Ran from my house, over to the new trail heading north towards 54, then across to Starkey Blvd and then ran into Starkey Park until I reached a water stop. But, the cooler was mostly out of water, although I managed to top off my bottle by tilting the cooler back, so had enough water to wash down the gel.
It was an easy pace but I felt really slow and clunky at first, not sure I'd even break a 10 minute pace, but it did get better and second half of run was low 9:00's and a few high 8:00's
Longest run since the marathon. This did top off a 70 mile week (if you count to Sunday) after getting about 50 miles while on the cruise ship.
