Not a lot of running to report this week. I was out of town for work-related business Monday through Wednesday, and I didn't bring my running gear as I felt like I could use the time off. Not sure if my long run yesterday confirmed that feeling or showed it to be short-sighted. My plan was to try to run 120-125 minutes and get in 12.5+ miles. I started to feel really horrible 110 minutes in, and I gave up a few minutes later. At the point I stopped, I felt like I was going to pass out on the trial. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
I did complete 11.4 miles in 112 minutes for a 9:49 average pace. That was nearly 20 seconds per mile slower than my recent long run pace. Hopefully the lack of a long run last weekend and no weekday runs this week is the culprit and not that I've peaked too soon. We'll see how things go next week.
