LONG MODERATE-PACED PROGRESSIVE-ISH RUN

I met Jon, Ken, Denver, and Ben at the pond at 5:00. We decided late last night after watching the Utah football game together to go long today. We ate a ton of calories during the game, so fuel shouldn't be an issue. We got going and all felt pretty sluggish. But over time we got going. The weather was hot and windy. We were all pretty thirsty throughout the run. Jon, Ken, and I traded leads into the wind in the middle miles. Overall pace for me was 6:35/mile. I got going pretty good towards the end and my last two miles were sub-6:00 without any conscious effort to pick it up; I just organically kept slowly bringing the pace down. So all in all a great run and it's the furthest run I've ever done.

That's freaking long run! In fact, doesn't that qualify as an ultra-marathon? You're a beast! Did you guys all go that far?
