    Hot Long Run

    The mid-summer heat made this morning’s 19-mile long run quite a challenge, but I still managed to finish strong.  Here were my splits:

    1st 5 miles = 39:43 (7:57 pace)

    2nd 5 miles = 38:43 (7:45 pace)

    3rd 5 miles = 38:34 (7:43 pace)

    Final 4 miles = 29:42 (7:25 pace)

    I was especially pleased that I was able to pick up the pace over the last half considering I saved the hills for that part of my run.  There are 5 rather steep, rolling hills that very much resemble the late hills at Boston.
