Usual Saturday route. I flet pretty damn good pace was but it is always a struggle for me mentally on this long runs... I'n not sure why... My pace was really steady and i was happy with it. The last 1.15 was at MP, 7:55, .15 7:49. Pretty good on tired legs and a little out of it mentally. Over 50 Miles for the week.

See you Monday.

Out towards Payson park and then back to the house and then I extended for a few more. I was having stomach issues for the first 5 or so and then I was able to settle in. My average pace was 8:34 with a total time of 1:10:12. I felt pretty good... Just a little clunky at times but better towards the end.

See you tomorrow.
