long run day. we met in forest park at 8am. i ran with eliza, julie, jess, eliza's friend lindsey, julie b., and c.j. we did the clayton loop (about 9 miles) and then headed back into the park. today served as a workout day, with a "fast finish" long run. so after the 9 miles, we were supposed to do 3 miles at race pace. well, it didn't exactly go well for me, but it was my first fast finish. let me tell you, it was HARD! i did the last three in 20:31 and it was a struggle. my legs felt pretty dead and my body just felt empty. i hope it was just an "off" day and nothing more. it is just my second week of really getting the mileage up so my body may still be a little tired from that.
run: 12 miles, last three at 20:31 (avg of about 6:50 pace)
time: 87 minutes
shoes: brooks defyance (12) -- probably retiring the wave riders, trying out a new shoe today
weekly total: 44
