Last Long Run Before Taper

Last long run before tapering, and it was to be 18 miles, but I pooped out and got in 16 miles of running and 2 miles of walking. Average pace for the running was 10:37, which isn't too bad, aveage heart rate was 156. Was doing ok keeping my miles between 10:06 and 10:37 for the first 13 miles, then the 14th mile I walked a little extra while I had some shot blocks, and then when it was time to run again, I just didn't have the oomph to do it. Walked/Ran mile 15 and 16 then decided it would be best to just walk the last 2 miles rather than over do it. 11:39, 11:42 and 11:45 for the last 3 miles. Average heart rate for a mile was never in the 160s, so that's one good thing. Glad to be tapering
