Total Distance
14.00

14 Mile long run with 2 consecutive faster segments. I met with Ricardo and Brent at Kiwanis Park in Tempe. They were doing 20 but were nice enough to drop me off at 14. We did 3 easy then 5 at 6:25 avg then 5 at 5:55 avg. They continued on for 5 more at a faster pace. I was really happy with this run. Yes I was barely holding on at the end but my last fast mile was 5:46  and this is by far my best run since returning to training. It's nice to see a fitness gain. 1 mile cooldown.
