Ran 18 miles, started at 5:30am because of the heat and humidity.754,732,727,722,723,727,722,723,725,727,729,725,609,(302 first half of this mile -702),657,655,658,640
felt the right side for the first 5 miles, did not get my bathroom duty done so needless to say the first 5 miles where not fun and i thought i might pack it in at 12 miles but G said lets just run for 2 hours easy. At mile 10 I started feeling good so I told G that we needed to run a tempo pace through Roseland, he is very good at that becase I leave him and he never complains. I ran a 609 and kept that pace for another half mile, I had more but I wanted to run in easy with G. He made us do an extra loop in Southwood lakes and once again started to pick up the pace again. There was a hill which is only .25 but a good grade and I attacked that as well. The right side felt better and we took a cool down for a half mile with some walking.
Played around with the kids and Julian wanted to run on the TM with his new shoes so the next you know I did 5.5 easy miles for a total of 24 miles.
We are leaving tomorrow for our vacation which is my fave running week of the year, lots of hills and great friends. I am going to chill and not worry too much about speed etc, just easy miles and some tempo runs.
