LONG RUN

I met up with Ken at 5:00 am to get our long run started.  He had to be home by 7:30 for kid duty.  Ken ran the first two hours with me and then I added on another half hour for a total of 2:30.  I did a tempo from 18 to 22, the splits were 5:42 (uphill) 5:18 (downhill) 5:22 (rolling hills) and 5:16 (rolling hills).  I feel pretty good about this run.

This is a new weekly mileage lifetime PR for me too!  Pretty soon I may even hit a 90-mile week, which not too long ago sounded ridiculous to me.
