I did 7.5 miles Sunday am. As I got to City Park, I remembered it was Ole Man River 5k/Half Marathon. Its so much easier to do part of a 7.5 training run with a bunch of runners and people cheering you on! I wish I had signed up for this race. The weather sunday morning was perfect - high 40s and sunny, so it felt a lot warmer. Pace was good - I tried to practice negative splitting. My first three miles were around 11:27 per minute. The four-ish I picked it up, getting down to 10:45ish by mile 7 and 10:15ish for the last half mile. I then stretched and foam rolled forever! It was a really great long training run - esp when I compare it to this summer when I did 8 miles while training for the Gulf Coast Half Marathon and almost died because it was so hot outside and all the water fountains in City Park had HOT water in them.
Hope everyone else's long runs went well!
