The alarm went off at 0415 and after 1 snooze, I rolled out of bed. I fixed a small breakfats consisting of oatmeal, a banana, and a cup of coffee. The plan for our 14 mile long run today was to meet at the Y and run the Lincoln Memorial Half Marathon course with an extra mile.
We were joined on our run today by one of Scott's friends, Chris. He is typically much faster than us but Scott told him we were going to be running at around a 9:15 and he was ok with that.
It was a WONDERFUL morning for a run. The weather was perfect. Maybe that's why the run seemed to go as fast and as well as it did. This was my 2nd time running the Lincoln Memorial course. It is a challenging course but VERY nice.
We finished the run averaging a pace of 9:05...just about where we wanted to be at. We ran the last 4 miles somewhere between 8:45-9:00. It is always nice to finish a run strong like that.
