Long run in the rain. Drove to a local park to get some running done on the hill. Since it rained all week I wasn't about to try a trail run giving the condition I knew they would be in. Sadly, it rained on my most of my run but it was warm so I managed not to get too cold. Did 20 miles @ 8:22pace with 1400feet elevation gain. The first 17 mile were very good but the last 3 were a lil-rough. You can see it in my pace, it starts to go all over the place instead of real steady like earlier in the run, but overall it was good.
These 20 milers are real confidence boosters. If I can suffer through 20 miles in the middle of my training, adding 6 more after a taper should be super doable!
