18 miles, 8:15 average pace. My longest ever run and my last really long run before my race in Vegas.
Took the (other) new kicks out. Mizuno Inspires are a great workhorse stability shoe. They are the lightest I have seen in this category. Was originally planning to do 16 but the shoes felt great and I was in the zone. It was pretty cool, which is why 8:15 felt completely aerobic and conversational. I ran without any breakfast or gu throughout; and none of my usual water fountains worked! I was going to do 20 but was concerned with bonking and/or cramping because of lack of water. A bit sore the rest of the day, but otherwise feel pretty good. Taking a rest day afterwards though, as long runs are still hard on the ole legs.
