Nice little run with Bill, Chris, Eleanor and Garek. Okay little was the wrong word. LONG. This was the longest run I have done EVER. Previously it was 15. We did rail trail, my first time doing that as well. So we got in elevation training and a long run all in one run. I felt fine until about the 10 mile mark, where I started to get tired. I started to fall off, but didn't let them get too far until about the 12 mile mark, where I stopped for the first time. My legs were tired and I just wanted to walk for a sec. After about a minute I started to run again. Stopped once again around mile 15 cause I was tired. Got to 16 then Bill added a half mile with me to get me to my weekly mileage. Man I'm tired now, but it was a good run. I didn't walk as much as I thought I would, twice is much better than I expected :) and each were only for a minute. My pace was probably way slow by the end, but while I was with the group we were averaging 7:30, for 10 miles of it. Guess the downhill helped with that. It turns out the group had actually picked up the pace when I fell off. So I'm hoping I stayed somewhat the same for at least some of it. Glad I did it, but now it's nap time.
