Faster than normal long run today.  Started off pretty easy and by my 3 I figured I was feeling pretty good so I would pick up the pace a bit.  Was able to hold the remaining miles pretty close to 8:00/mile.  Really started to fade by the end of this run but was able to maintian a decent pace up to the end.  I don't feel like I could have gone much further today than 16 miles but it is definately coming along.  Hopefully the recovery is good to do it again next week.

Ended up going with the 11 year old scouts on a 5 mile hike up at Mt. Charleston about an hour after our run this morning.  It was about 70 degrees at the start up on the mountain and the hike was great.  Perfect morning to go up and get out of the heat as it was 106 when we got back to Vegas at 12:30.   BLAUGHGHGH!!!

Time:  2:10:37  8:10/mile
