Awesome off road trail run... kept right near pace for the first 4 miles (7:57) but then really kicked it up the last mile (6:57). Finished with a short cool down.

Sunday, Sept 6th

Distance: 20.5 miles
Duration: 3:23:24
Pace: 9:55
HR Avg/Max: 123/156
notes:
Awesome 20 miler up and down lakeshore drive. The pace was conservative but probably wise since I'm ending this week with a total of 50 miles. Feet and shin hurt by the end but not anything out of the ordinary. When I got back from the out and back route my watch only registered 19.75 miles so I ran an additional .75 miles at 8:13 pace so that I would have 50 for the week. I'm glad I could finish strong, but not glad that I didn't get under 8 minute pace for the last .75 since I want to run this pace for an entire marathon.
