Another world-record distance PR, 16 miles.  Overall 8:14 AP.

I did the first 10 easy (8:27 avg), then did the last 6 progressively (8:18, 8:15, 8:04, 7:52, 7:42, 7:01).  Lots of energy at the end, which is good.  My plan was to just run tempo pace for the last mile, but I checked my watch at 15.92 miles and it said 7:08.  I put in a quick burst of speed but it was too late to get the sub-7 finish.  The fact that I could tap into some pretty good speed at the end was a nice confidence boost.

I'll rest tomorrow, then maybe a 5K on Sunday...maybe.

Man, awesome run! great mileage for the week. You might just surprise yourself at Houston.... you might be capable of more than you think.

I agree--you could very possible go sub-3:30 at Houston! You are in great shape right now!

Great job, Joe! Impressive tapping.

Thanks Burt. But April is crazy - sub-3:30 at Houston is a pipe dream.
