Finally...a good, comfy long run

Today was the last day of week 8, and a recovery week. This time, I really felt like I was somewhat recovering. 14 miles. Michele and I started at 4:25 and ran on the dark country roads until the sky finally lightened up. We had OS Endurance to drink during mile 8, but I couldn't seem to finish all of mine. I had eaten a fig newton on the way to her house and my stomach just felt too full for whole 8 ounces. But the Fig Newton and the OS I did have carried me through a nice, comfortable, and halfway decent-paced long run. Finally. Next week is the peak week. 55 miles. 2 mid week 12 milers (one of them a LT run), a long run of 20 miles, and a 6 and 5 mile recovery run. Whew...I need to get plenty of sleep...starting tonight.

Oh, did I mention it's cold now? 44 is cold. I still wore shorts, but I am now regularly sporting gloves, long sleeves and a vest.

Wow!!! Your HR vs your pace is looking really good!!! You didn't hit the 160's until you went below 9:10 miles. That's awesome!!!

Holy crap! I know I keep saying that but you are so damn strong and steady it humbles me so.
Fantastic for you to be so smooth.
