IT was a great day to run here in Kansas, NOT!! 34 degrees and rain is not what I call ideal conditions to run 14 miles in but I actually did do a really good job in dressing appropriately so that only the last 2 miles were miserable. The workout for today was 14 miles with 5 miles at goal pace. I did not quite get the 5 miles at goal pace but I did run the first 7 with the guys then pushed the next 5 on a pretty hilly course then finished with 2 easy miles at the end. For running the 5 harder miles by my lonesome they all were right around 7 minutes. Overall with a first mile and last two miles over 8 min/mi the overall average pace was 7:25/mi. Overall it was great workout for being such a mserable day.
Splits: 8:03, 7:37, 7:24, 7:32, 7:21, 7:47, 7:13, 6:55, 7:08, 6:55, 7:10, 7:16, 7:51, 7:40
