14 Miler

14 miles on the Katy Trail, starting at the Page Extension parking lot, going south 2.5 miles, then returning and going north 4.5 miles, and then coming back to the start. Wasn't pushing it, but wanted to maintain a good pace the whole way. Cool at the start, but the sun was out so it started feeling warm when not in the shade, but wasn't too bad. 2:24:19 total time, average pace of 10:18, average heart rate of 158, though the average for the last mile was 165 as I was getting tired. Splits of 10:41, 10:15, 10:07, 10:07, 10:26 (shot blocks mile), 9:58, 10:27, 10:10, 10:12, 10:49 (shot blocks again), 10:29, 10:15, 10:01 and 10:15. Worn out by the end, but didn't feel too bad. Left heel/achilles was a bit sore, will need to watch it so it doesn't get worse.
