21.60 non-stop no breaks no walking grind it out running. I have to say this was the most positive training run in my life. I extended my planned 18 miles to hit the century mark for the first and probably last time in my life. I was running stronger on the second have by far as I took it very easy through the climbing. I ran from home out to SunRiver to River Road. I continued down River Road to Riverside then on to the trail to the Dixie Center. I continued to Bloomington and then around Bloomington Drive. I still needed another mile so I continued past the Country Club and then turned for home. Pace was not important at all today and ended up with 8:48 average. The first 7 miles was all up hill at 9:30. Foot issues on the right foot started a bit at 11 and then went away until 15, I just gutted it out and did okay. Now it is time to drop back in mileage and save the body for Boston in 5 weeks. Later in the day....I realized that I had two different insoles in my shoes and the foot that was sore was one that had some additional support for the arch......note to self, do use the additional support.
