Ran river, srl, and sunnyside @ 6:58 pace. Kept a steady 6:50 pace for the first 11, started to drop off a bit in the last 4 miles, but I only had 1 gu on this run so fuel could have something to do with it. Very pleased with my longest run this year, will look at 18 or 20 in comming weeks. Also reached 59 miles for the week my highest week yet.

Due to Smoke from fires the air quality was very poor today. So TM @ 6:40 pace as a quick shake out run. Hopefully tommorow is better.
