Training - Week 3 Day 4 - Long Run

Today I awoke at 6:30 AM and headed out to do my long run. I was a bit worried at the distance, as I have never run that far before in my life. But I guess this will be a weekly experience for the next few months while I train. Today's distance was scheduled for 7 miles. I ran 7.3 miles in 1:22:09 averaging just about an 11:00 minute mile. Not too shabby. I was able to keep my heart rate in the 150-160 range for most of the run as well, which is probably what kept me going.

My stats:
HR - 154/165
Mile 1 - 11:24 / 5.2
Mile 2 - 11:00 / 5.3
Mile 3 - 11:04 / 5.4
Mile 4 - 11:08 / 5.4
Mile 5 - 11:06 / 5.4
Mile 6 - 10:54 / 5.5
Mile 7 - 10:54 / 5.5
Mile 7.1 - 1:15 / 5.3
Mile 7.3 - 3:24 / 3.4
Weight - 179
Pain: Light ache in left foot
