I am enjoying this phase of my training-- every week is a new "longest run ever!". This week was a 16 miler. I kept right around the 10 minute mile pace, and felt really good throughout. 16 miles is a LONG way though! I covered some serious ground in and around Portland. But it's a fabulous way to get to know a new city!
I bought a "real" fuel belt on Sunday and will start working on the hydration element of my running. The fueling I think I have figured out, but generally I don't drink any water at all while I run (including on my long runs for 1/2 marathon training). But that approach is just not going to work now that I am above 10 mile runs every weekend.
This week my challenge is to not slack on the mid-week runs either... we'll see how that goes.
In other news, I have a new job, and need to figure out how to work my runs around my new schedule.
