16 Mile Long Run

16 miles out at the lake, running the first 6 solo, then running 10 miles with Bob. Glad he came out, as the last few miles were a struggle. Did a big loop starting at the soccer field, then ran clockwise from the soccer field, through the woods, out past the swimming pool and north on the road until we hit 5 miles, then returning the same way. Wasn't quite as humid today, but was getting warm, about 70F when we finished, with a 55F dewpoint. 2:43:28 total time, 10:13 average pace, 156 AHR, though the last 7 miles all miles were over 160 average, with the last mile being 167, so I was wearing down. Splits of 10:14, 10:16, 10:17, 10:11, 10:18, 10:00, 9:53, 10:03, 10:07, 10:10, 10:34, 10:20, 10:11, 10:04, 10:21 and 10:22. Happy with the run, but getting in my final long runs before Grandma's marathon will be pretty tough.
