8 Mile - Tapering Down

8 miles up at the lake with the FFRC, ran with the 'old' guys, but as usual they were going a touch faster than my comfortable pace. 1:16:32 overall, 9:34 pace, splits of 9:19, 9:20, 9:15, 9:59, 10;48 (waited for Ray to catch back up after a bathroom break, probably stood around for a minute), 9:28, 9:11 and 9:09. Even with the minute or so break, it was a record for an 8 mile run. Heart Rate was 163, with it creeping up at the end, 165, 167 and 167 for the final miles, though max for the run was 173, so not too bad. Felt pretty good, now to take it easy until the Marathon.
