Week Four - Long Run
Today I resumed my weekly long run. It was supposed to be 12 miles, but because I didn't do one last week, I gave myself a 1 mile handicap.
I'm going to try to keep my long runs averaging 9 min./mi. Today went pretty well in light of that goal. Still under 10, so this makes a sub 5--- even a sub 4:30--- marathon a possibility this year.
Today was a warm and sunny, but messy, run. Interestingly, it reminded me of a similar run last year at this time, with the route being the same: Lakes Harriet, Calhoun, and of the Isles, and back. Lots of puddle-jumping, and the warm weather brought out a lot of people so the trails were crowded.
