14 Mile Run

Ran 14 miles this morning, getting up early and heading to the Page Extension parking lot of the Katy Trail. Started by running southwest past the Greens Bottom parking lot, then returning to the Page Extension parking lot, then across to the Creve Coeur Lake, then headed home. Judy is running 18 miles today, so we both started together at the parking lot, but she was going to be out there about 2 more hours than me so figured it would work well to run home. Took it a bit easier this run, 14 miles in 2:33:19, 10:57 pace, avg heart rate of 154, walked a bit most every mile and walked a bit more at the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 points when I had Gu Gel or GuO2. Splits as follows, 10:44, 11:00, 10:54, 11:14, 10:52, 10:51, 10:31, 10:53, 10:56, 10:50, 11:08, 10:46, 11:27 and 11:09. Legs are tired, but not too bad. Resting tomorrow, then I'm going to try to hit my planned Monday, Tuesday, Thursday running days next week.
