Didn’t feel like running long today.  Had 25 miles scheduled.  Was going to skip the run but figured I should do something.  So I ran 16 miles and 15 of the miles @ 9:29-9:54/mile pace which is a 25 second spread.  The 16 miles were done at 9:34/mile average pace in 2:33:16.  Probably the first 15 miles done at an average pace of 9:41/mile or so (Goal was 9:45/miles).  Mile 16, the last mile, is the fastest split at 7:52/mile.  That’s not a bad split.  I always go faster for the last mile. 

Only fuel: ten ounces of Gatorade throughout the run.  I did not use any Power Gel. 

So I slacked today.  BUT, there has been high consistency with putting in the miles these past 13 weeks.  I am okay with this.  The March long runs were 22, 20, 30, 13, and 16…total miles for the five days = 101.  Given that, guess I could rationalize that cutting the 25 miler short today not such a big deal.

Next three weeks will be TAPER weeks (less mileage).
