17 miles

Long run this morning... 17 miles in 2:12:59 (7:49 pace) with average HR of 156. My HR stayed below 160 for the first 12 miles. Miles 13-17 were 161, 163, 162, 162, 163. I pushed a little on the last 400m of the run to see if I could get it up a little higher (just out of curiosity and because I was a little concerned that it was low because I was tired... even though I haven't been feeling tired). Anyway, it did go up to 169. I recovered to 130 in :52 and 120 in 1:02. My legs felt great with the exception of the last 4 miles when they started feeling a little tired. They are just a touch sore but I think that it will be gone by tomorrow. I think this was a pretty good run!
