Pace:

  • 14 miles - 10:10
  • 7 miles - 10:35

Conditions:

  • 77°
  • 68%

Observations:

  • Completed 16 miles slightly off mark of 2:40 minutes
  • Using peanutbutter sandwiches as nutrition during long run may keep me nourished, I lose a lot of time because it takes me so long to swallow. I have to completely stop to eat the bite-size pieces.
  • Mentally I struggled when I realized that I was off the training time goals.
  • I am glad that I pushed myself to run more miles. I am comfortable with 16 miles, but need to push more longer miles. On race day, I need to know that I can run an additional 10 miles. Today was difficult.
