I did a long run this morning.. I didn't get out until about 6:30am and by the time I got towards the end it was getting warm. But I had plenty of liquid with me and when I ran out I stopped at my brothers pit stop and refilled, thanks bro. My goal today was to keep my pace at about the same as my recovery runs during the week, my foot is starting to feel good and I didn't want to push it, plus I don't think I am ready for a tempo long run yet. So, my average pace was 9:02 and my average heart rate was 138 total time was 2:07:02, the pace I was keeping was a pace that was really comfortable and I feel like I could hold that apce for along time, and I was excited at how at the end I had enough energy to speed up and not have it be difficult, it almost felt natural so that was really cool. If my foot stays on course then I think I might be up for a nice tempo run this next week, which is exciting. I have only one problem, I have to go in on Monday for an Endoscopy of my throat and esophegus, they have to put me out and I will be out of it for most of the day so there will be no running on Monday.. Hopefully good news will come from this, I am a little nervous so whom ever reads this just say a little prayer for me, thanks.

 

See ya Monday..
