14 Mile Long Run

With the poison ivy I decided to take some time off, as my right foot was a bit swollen as well, and I didn't want to aggrivate things, so first day back at it. Really hot out, when we went out the door at 6am it was already 79F with oppressive humidity. Sun was out strong, and I was struggling keeping even my 'slow' 5:00 pace team pace. Ran into Judy about an hour into the run, and we decided to run for 3 hours instead of our original plan of 15 miles for her and 16 miles for me. Slowed down some more, managed to get in 14 miles. When we got home at about 9:30, it was 82F but rising fast. Poison ivy didn't bother me while running, but I have a few new blisters where my sock rubbed on the back of my heel. Oddly my foot seems less swollen now than before the run, go figure. 14 miles in 2:47:36. I did stop the clock when I went to the bathroom at about mile 4, and again when I stopped at the car at mile 10, but not for too long. The original plan was to run 11:15 miles, but as I was going, it was clear I wasn't going to be able to do those without having my heart rate be too high. I was sweating up a storm, guzzling my water. Average pace of 11:58, AHR of 162, splits of 11:15, 10:58, 11:16, 11:04, 11:37, 11:19, 11:33, 11:43, 12:06, 12:28, 13:27, 13:16, 13:18 and 12:08. Took 2 walk breaks from about mile 7 to mile 9, then after that took more and more walk breaks, mostly focusing on keeping my mile splits below 13:30. Brutal out there, but made it through 14 miles.
