I had Mexican for dinner last night again -  a big rice and bean burrito.  So I had plenty of energy for my long run this morning.  I just took a little water on the run.
I felt better than I did last Saturday.  My legs were much more fresh.  1:15:40 at the half - a bit of a negative split.  2:28:32 total. 
You can't beat the low 70's and overcast for training at this time of year.

Very nice job, Tim!!! Wow, how do you run so far on a little water? When I run that far I go through a couple bottles of powerade and a few bottles of water.

thanks - yeah it wasn't that hot I guess. On my next set of long runs I'll do some fast finish runs and MP miles, so I'll definitely take gatorade or powerade.
