There's just something wrong with logging miles like this as "Easy Miles". Even though they were slow they were not "Easy". I don't know what it is about this run (20 miles @ 8:26 pace) but it's been hard every time I've done it. It must be either too slow or two long, I'm not sure which :-)
I finished the run but was completly beat at the end. It took all day to recover, my legs felt like crap and I was completly worn out. My hams were really tight and aching after the run. Today my hams are good but my quads are sore.
Target was 20 miles @ 8:26 pace.

Matthew 7:13-14
13-14 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
There's no shortcut to marathon success!
