New distance record today, 15 miles! I started out with a near perfect pace (7:25ish) for the front five miles, this helped as I got near the end I was still able to run faster than my goal pace! The first 14 miles went great without any trouble at all! The last mile was hard, but being so close to the end pushed me to keep going, I even finished with a 7:16 mile on my last mile by just pushing myself to finish! 15 mile time - 1:49:41, pace: 7:18 mile! I feel great!
Next week the long run is 16 miles! I have 5 more weeks of increasing distance before I taper for three weeks and run the marathon! Less than two months until the big race!
