Long Run

I ran around 14.6 miles today for my long run. I wanted to go 17, but I like to stick to my own advice whenever I get the chance. That advice being that its okay to take a step back sometimes to go forwards. On the way out I started to feel like a struggle would occur if I kept going so I turned around just before 46 minutes and kept it controlled on the way back. I still managed to run a little over 6 min pace for a run that was definitely not flat.

The next step is to take it easy for a couple of days and then race an 8k on Sunday. I ran a 4 mile a tempo over a month ago in 20:10 and Im pretty certain on the worst of days I could add another mile onto that. So we will see what happens....
