20 Miler

Long long run today, 20 miles in a light rain. Was decent out otherwise, about 60F with little wind, so was able to run in shorts and one long sleeved shirt. Ran up at the lake, going south to the end of the tail, then north on the inside meadows loop, then across the parking lot and then continuing up past the sailboat cove around to the overpass, then returning back to the car, and then repeating. Legs were tired throughout the run, but I was able to stick with it, taking a minute walk break every mile. Splits were as follows; 10:19, 9:56, 10:07, 10:05, 10:07, 10:08, 10:17, 10:05, 10:04, 10:10, 10:09, 10:01, 10:01, 9:58, 10:08, 10:01, 9:51, 9:59, 9:58 and 9:45. Pretty consistent overall, it was getting tougher at the end to maintain the pace, but not too bad. 3:21:19 overall time, 10:03 average pace, 155 average heart rate. Time to rest up for the Flying Pig marathon.
