18 Mile Long Run

18 miles up at the lake, running 5 miles then meeting up with Bob from the runners club and running 12 'with' him, then finishing off with a final mile. Started at the restaurant, ran up and past the soccer fields, then did two laps counter clockwise with Bob with one south tail to get the mileage in, then ran back from the soccer fields to the restaurant to finish it off. I took a short break after mile 5 before starting with Bob, stopping the timer, then another one after the first lap, stopping the timer again. Overall a good run. Spent most of the time while running with Bob about 4 steps behind him, but even so it was good to run with someone for a change, passed the time a bit better. Splits of 11:08, 11:11, 11:12, 11:14, 11:16, 10:56, 10:35, 10:47, 10:28, 10:21, 10:06, 10:01, 10:30, 10:36, 10:02, 10:42, 9:59 and 11:11. AHR was 152, though it had creeped up at the end with final miles of 163 and 160. Temp was 59F with a 57F dewpoint at the 7am start, and was about 72F, 57F dewpoint when done at just after 10am. Overall time of 3:12:21, average pace of 10:41.
