Long ... Longer ...

It was not a bad morning for a stroll, but three hours is a long time. This was the first time in a few weeks I actually was able to dress appropriately. It was cold enough to wear some cold-weather gear.

The run iteself felt good. I know my pace fell a little in the last few miles, even with the higher heart rate, but a body's going to get tired over 19 miles, especially with 9 at race pace the day before, and a bunch of physical errands. I'm pretty tired at this point. Next week is the first of the 20s, so I've almost reached the higher limit. As much as I enjoy the longer runs, it would be better to get these miles in the summer. I don't know how often I'll want to train for a winter event in the future. It's tough to get out there. On the other hand, the fact that I'm out there when most wouldn't be is another couple of places I'll move up next season.

Run: 9 miles @ 145 bpm, 10 miles @ 150 bpm
