Today I ran the longest continuous run of my life--14.5 miles. Would have done 15 but had GI issues late in the run. It was really cold today and it took me almost 6-7 miles to get warmed up and loose. Here are my splits: 1- 7:18.0 2- 7:37.1 (uphill) 3- 7:06.2 4- 7:31.0 (I think this mile was a tad long and 3 maybe was short) 5- 7:13.0 (36:45 or 7:21 pace) 6- 7:04.0 7- 7:08.8 8- 7:07.6 9- 7:08.0 (took a GU right at the 9 mile marker) 10- 7:15.9 (1:12:29 or 7:15 pace, 35:44 on last 5 miles) 11- 7:29.8 (same mile as #4 so i think it was long) 12- 7:08.2 13- 7:23.6 14- 7:54.9 (big uphill) last .5- 3.44.2 (7:28 pace) TOTAL--1:46:10 or 7:19 per mile pace! Overall, a very good run in adverse weather conditions. I got in a groove in the middle miles as you can tell by my even splits from 5 through 10. Aside from the last mile which was uphill and I was dead, I kept a pretty decent pace. Not only was it the farthest Ive ran in terms of distance (by .5 mile) but it was the longest as far as time by seven and a half minutes! Goal HM next week!
