6.89 miles - 1:56:08 hours - 16.8 min/mile
Another long run done, and I'm halfway to a half marathon. Got up early, around 5:15, and was able to make it to the park just before 6 AM. It was a cool 70 F with a slight breeze when I started, close to 80 F by the time I was done. Starting to get hot already, but I was able to finish without any trouble.
I used the 13.1 training app, so I could have Jeff Galloway tell me when to walk and when to run, and when the run was over. Now that I'm using it again, I'm reminded that it doesn't keep track of mile (or km) splits, so I can't tell how much/if I slowed down much over the length of the run. Did manage to average under 17 minute miles, so that's good.
If I keep this schedule, I'll be doing 9 and 11 mile runs in August, nudging up towards 3-hour runs. If the weather stays like this, that's a good two hours or more in 80-degree sun. So far, the sun hasn't bothered me too much. I'm slower, and get more tired, but I can still finish without crashing like I was doing before my surgery. I'll just have to see how it goes when the runs get longer.
