This run always looms ominously on my weekly calendar. I don't enjoy the strange anxiety it causes leading up to it but I love the ecstatic feeling of completing it!

I was particularly happy with closing the last 3 miles averaging 8:31/mi. and running negative splits. I was working but it felt good.
