Aug. 15, 2009

Distance: 18.22 miles
Time: 2:59:09
Average: 9:49
Run type: long
Location: Up Hiway 45, then up to Platte Woods
Weather: 70 at the start, 75 at the end, partly cloudy, light breeze.
Aches: None.
Injuries: None
Observations: 1) It felt cool when we took off at 5:30 a.m., since it was still dark and there was a bit of a breeze.
Session notes: The first half of the run was done at an easy pace, and since the temperature really didn't heat up that fast, I still felt fresh at the 9 mile mark. I ran alone for the last 9 miles. The sun stayed behind the high clouds, so it didn't get the chance to beat down on me and sap my energy. I was able to bring my average per mile down from 10:32 to 9:49 overall, so I ran a strong second half. My weekly mileage ended up at 50.5.
