Long, late run.

Well, it's 6:30pm and I just walked in from a long hard run. I didn't run this morning because Hisako and I went out for breakfast, then it took quite a while to digest all that french toast.
So at about 4:00 I headed out to an 18 mile progression run in thirds. Three 6 mile loops, each one faster than the last (with a quick drink and a gel in between each.) First six was @ 45:50, second six was 41:42, and the final third was 39:59. All that adds up to a total of 2:07:31.
This was a tough one. I didn't feel great during the first loop. But as usual, started feeling good during the second loop, then by the end I was cruising at top end aerobic pace feeling great.
