Interestingly the training plan drops mileage for today's long run. It is only 7 miles. Perhaps it's Hal's way of allowing some recovery from recent long runs and prepping me for the 12 miler to come next week.
Today was a beautiful fall morning for a run and my pal Amanda was with me for the 7 miles and as she continued on for her longer run I walked for awhile to cool down. I didn't concentrate on splits too much during the run because this didn't feel like a typical "long" run, I just kinda went with it knowing that 12-12:30 was about where we wanted to be. At mile 5 we stopped and had some GU which probably explains the slower split there.
Mile 1: 12:24
Mile 2: 12:03
Mile 3: 12:12
Mile 4: 12:10
Mile 5: 13:49
Mile 6: 12:03
Mile 7: 12:04
Total Miles: 7
Total Time: 1:26:45
Avg. Mile: 12:24
Awesome job on the 7. Congrads!
