This morning I ran 8 miles for my long run. I had intended to do 7 or 8 depending on my mood. Well, everything fell in place for a great run so I did 8. The temperature was in the low 70’s, it wasn’t too humid, and I felt great! For my long runs, I’ve been trying to stay at a 11 min/mile pace, and I achieved that for all but one mile. My average was 10:50. It was one of those rare days where things just worked. I stopped for a energy gel at the turn around, then a pee break shortly after. Otherwise it was no stop running. My music of choice: Bush – Sixteen Stone, then a mix of Pearl Jam. After the run, I meet a friend at Caribou Coffee for a few hours. Now to relax then meeting another friend for dinner with the family.
My splits were pretty good I think.
Mile 1 = 10:24
Mile 2 = 10:41
Mile 3 = 10:59
Mile 4 = 10:56
Mile 5 = 10:43
Mile 6 = 10:55
Mile 7 = 11:05
Mile 8 = 10:50
Total = 1:26:38

really consistant splits once you fell into a groove. Nice work.
