well today I did a long run and I was by myself.  My buddies couldn't make it for various reasons.  I started when it was drizzling out and it continued to drizzle for ten miles.  I was pretty much soaked then but only a bit of my shoes were wet (until the end when they were wet).

The plan was to run 10 easy and then 10 progressively faster until 6:00 flat or faster.  I went up Beach drive and ran out of road at an intersection at 8 miles so I turned around and ran past where I entered the trail, ran 1.5 miles and turned around again. This extra bit turned out to be very hilly which you can see in my splits.  I also went too hard around the 13-14 mile area where you feel great but slowly faced the "wall" at mile 18-20.  Anyways my legs hurt now.

splits:

7:15, 7:05, 6:55, 6:45, 6:52, 6:48, 6:51, 6:39, 6:35, 6:35, = 6:50

6:20, 6:15, 6:02, 6:06, 6:12, 6:20, 6:11, 6:25, 5:59, 6:27, = 6:13

8:15 (CD)
