Did the long run today with Tammy La Prad, who’s training for the Chicago Marathon. We started at 5:30, in blissfully cool weather: 59° and 85% rh. We ran a quick four mile out and back, and then slowed the pace for fourteen more miles. Total 2:44:44 (9:09/mi).
That’s a bit slower than FIRST pace, but I didn’t want to push too hard; next week is the real time challenge (15 miles in 2:10, or 8:40/mi).
