Another long run today and I kind of did the same as I always do, out to GU corner and then down into the river bottoms and then I ran my two mile loop down in there and then I started to make my way back towards the house. Stopping only to re-fuel and stretch, and to chat with my Brother. I ran from GU Corner to Mini Gu corner and then back to GU corner, fueled up again and then headed towards Harry's Hill when I got to the base I stopped and stretched and then headed up to the top... I wasn't to sure how I would handle it since I had already ran 13 miles and I was a little tired but I just tried to keep it steady and push my way up. I felt pretty good going up and then as I headed down over to the Stake center I was able to get into a pretty good rhythm on the downhill and those miles were pretty good feeling. When I returned home I headed out to the old barn and back just to get my mileage to 18 and some change, my pace was pretty good for the most part not as fast as I've been but the run was harder so I'll take it. My average pace 8:39 with my total time at 2:39:12 and my average HR was at 141. I felt like I could have gone a few more but I like the feeling of leaving a little bit for next time, it makes me feel good. I will be running the Onion days 10K on Monday and I'll use that as my speed work for the week. It should be fun , my son Ethan is running it as well.

See ya Monday.
