Very difficult long run for me today. Today ends the highest mileage week ever for me and February was the highest mileage month ever. I guess it stands to reason that I am a little fatigued and didn't feel refreshed and ready to tackle 18 today. The main thing is that I got through it at a fairly respectable pace for me but suffered a bit of pain getting there. The lower back muscles were screaming and my energy level was low. I look forward to a the one day of rest before going 59 miles next week. Weather was perfect for the run today with temps in the low 50s and no wind to speak of. Ran most of the run in shorts and a long sleeve shirt. I think its official....spring has sprung.
Time: 8:31/mile |
