Long run: 2:17:30.

This was a pretty high quality run (I'd say we at least averaged 7 min, probably under) with Kyle Smith, a former Princeton runner.  We wandered around the GT trails and then ended up on the canal.

Pretty happy with this set.  I felt strong and in control.  Definitely an improvement over last weekend.

Well,  at least I was consistent.  Funny thing is that these did not feel all that hard, but I tried like crazy to go sub 30 on the last two and just found myself tying up rather that going faster.  So, that is the state of my speed.  This is certainly sufficient for my upcoming 5k.  I guess the inability to go sub 30 is due to mileage (still over 70 this week) and/or biomechanics.  Perhaps some downhill grass running would be a good change of pace with XC coming up.
