Usual route. I felt horrible. I'm going backwards on these long runs for some reason and I'm not sure why... On the 4th of July I did an 18 Mile and really felt super good but these last few or so long runs I have really felt like crap.Trying to work to 20 miles. Hopefully I can get there next week. My average pace was 9:26 with a total time of 2:51:23. Ouch!

See you Monday.
