Long Run Monday

What a doozy! I ran 15 miles at an overall average pace of 8:55. The first 9 miles fluctuated between 9:22 and 8:52/mile (slowest to fastest). The last 6 miles were like this: 8:36, 8:25, 8:23, 8:43, 8:07, 8:45. It was high 80s - low 90s out and I don't like running in that heat. I was happy with the run and jumped into the pool with the kids afterward. Time to relax and I'm having some beer later! Newcastle Brown Ale.

WEEKLY TOTAL: 42
Mon 7/2: off
Tue 7/3: 7 hill program on TM
