14 Mile Taper

14 miles today, tapering down for the Chicago Marathon. Judy was running 12 today, so 14 miles plus a mile walking would be about the same amount of time. 2:25:37 time, avg pace of 10:24, AHR of 159. I pushed it during mile 13 and ran a 9:20, slowed down after that but my HR stayed up. All but 3 miles in the 10s, 3 miles in the 9s. Overall a decent run, legs still feel a bit tired, but with the continued cutback coming up should start feeling more fresh.
