Long Run

~14 mile run on the roads around Grafton, covering "my loop" that I used to run when I ran on the roads frequently. 2 hours, 17 minutes total, which made for a 9:57/mile pace

This is an image of the course I ran today. Some good hills mixed throughout.

• General: Good run today even though it was on the roads. It's nice that after I run 14 miles I can just go on with my day and not have any soreness or anything really bothering me. I worked 6 hours right after and had no pain all day. My plan was to not push for time as my PR on this course is like 1:55, but more to get on my feet for longer and see how that feels. I need to definitely pick up the pace quickly and add a minimum of an hour to each run on for the next couple weekends to ensure I'll be ready for the 50.
• Nutrition: Good. I had a goo and 1/2 a clif bar during my run (decided not to bring paleo food) but then ate strict all day. Counts as strict in my book. Day 6
• Body: Back is still sore but feels a lot better. Chest and abs are pretty sore.
• Sleep: 8 hours
• Reflections: Nice rest day tomorrow, then time to squat on Monday. Let's hope the PR's keep on coming. I would be very happy if the snow melted this week so I can trail run next weekend instead of using the roads.
