I was sick most of this week, so I didn't do all my runs. The good news is that I got back to my long run this weekend. I ran 16 miles today. A distance record for me for sure. I even sustained a good pace considering the distance. I took 2 brief breaks (Mile 7 and 12) to down some Gu and refill my water. Of course, after the run my legs were burning. I believe I am definitely challenging my lactic acid threshold a bit these days, as I was about limping when I got in to my house after the run. A 15 minute ice bath did the trick though, and my legs feel much better. Total run time was 3:07:30.
At this pace, I should finish the Seattle Marathon in about 5 to 5.5 hours. Not that I care, as finishing it without my legs falling off is my main goal.
