A better 20 miler than last time

Elevation chart:

Got about a 10 am start, and temps today ended up warming up quite a bit faster than the last few days–no risk of frost this morning either. Still, the temperature was in the low 50s and sunny to start–a little chilly for a sleeveless running shirt. By mile 15, I was happy to have the warmer weather gear on. Did a lot of out and backs, and found a new connection between streets.

Laps (goal pace was 9’00″, so only missed the mark on the last three miles, and held the average pace below 9s).

• Starting to build a little momentum I'm probably a couple of weeks away from being able to run any kind of long run outside--in part from recovery, but mostly from happily being blind-sided by the responsibilities of having a second child at home. I'm glad I never thought about the implications of having a new baby......

• Race Report: Monumental Marathon I've spent the past 6 months working up to this day.  Twice in the past 16 months, I've been sidelined from running for more than 6 weeks.  I began running everyday at the end of my last injury recovery, making it my goal to be able to run the......
• Re-evaluating my training pace Using a "theoretical" 7'01" mile race (based on only being able to run a 7'19" mile interval), I did a gut check on my pacing.  Yep, I'm running too fast.  Shocking.  I'm going to have to force myself to run at 6.0 mph on the treadmill. Recovery Jogs 10:33......
• Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo.  Maybe that's an interval.  Needless to say, I thought I could run a 7 minute mile, but I lost the pace at about 4/10 of a mile and struggled to keep a 7'20" mile. Coming off of that effort with a little......
