Going Long

18 miles on the Katy Trail, starting at the Page Extension parking lot and running southwest 9 miles before returning. Also walked 2 miles before and after the 18 mile run to stretch out the time. Total running time of 3:07:51, average pace of 10:26, average heart rate of 157, though it was creeping up a little at the end with averages of 160, 163, 163 and 162 to finish up. All miles were between 10:15 and 10:44, so consistent run. Had shot blocks during mile 7 and mile 14, and ducked into the woods real quick during mile 9, but didn't stop the timer. 9 miles from Page Extension Parking lot southwest does get past Hwy 40, but the Weldon Springs trailhead is still farther away, not sure just how much farther. Overall a decent run, can tell that my legs were extra tired with the running Friday and Saturday, but it could have been worse. Weather was nice, temperature in the 60s with sprinkles to start with and overcast for most of the run. Next weekend, Marathon time (:
