Tough long run yesterday. Ended up being close to 22 miles. Measured it out on USATF site at 21.55 but felt like 23.
Anyway, it was Dave, Jeremy and I. Stated at the train station in C-land and ran up Mechanic Street, up over the bridge on Henderson, and then headed out Valley Road. Cut down Pea Vine Road and onto Bedford Road. Turned at Beall's Mill Road to cut across onto Mason Road back into Nave's Crossroads. Ran 6:59 pace for first 9 miles - 220 bridge at Mason Rd.
Turned onto Christie Road and started pushing. Felt good in this stretch except at the top of that one long hill. Regrouped at Willowbrook Road. Ended up running 6:08 pace from 220 bridge at Mason to Willowbrook. Split apart after first hill on Christie, so probably ran sub 6 for that 5 mile stretch. Dave and Jeremy ran 6:41 pace from 220 bridge (pretty good for that stretch).
Came back in on Willowbrook and turned down Shades Lane back to Nave's Crossroads, then finished up Frederick Street back to train station. This was such a tough stretch. Shades was the toughest of them all, but ended up running 6:23 pace for the last 6 miles. Not too bad. Thought that we were all dying, but it turned out that we were actually running pretty strong.
Anyway, good run guys. I had you at a little over 2:25 for the whole thing. Definitely take off about 5 or more minutes if we were on the Canal. Christie was just tough, but it felt good to be able to go like that 10 miles into our run.
Had to be about the toughest long run I've ever done.
