15 miles

Legs felt good this morning.. no soreness and not too tired once I settled in. 15 miles at 7:51 pace. HR stayed under 160 for the first 6 miles then averaged 162 for the next 5 miles. Miles 12-15 were at 164-165. I was definitely more tired than on a typical long run but it didn't feel as if I had raced yesterday. It was a good indicator that I ran as controlled as I thought I had during the race... another good sign was that my knee didn't bother me too much. Just a little starting around mile 10.. I stretched it a little and was able to continue without any problems. I stopped at 15 just to be on the safe side. Recovered to 130 in1:03 and 120 in 1:15.
