18 miles: Another solid long run today. I started with 10 at 6:42 avg. pace then went straight into 2 x 3 mile with a mile easy between. I ran the first set in 5:43, 5:40, 5:39, ran a mile in 6:57 then did the second set in 5:39, 5:40, 5:34. The second set was tough. I'm trying to get used to running the faster parts off a faster pace in the beginning. The mornings are warming up but it wasn't too bad this morning. 6:23 average pace for the whole run. Tired!
