Forbidden Dr. to Schuykill River Trail via Wiss Bike Trail - 16.5 miles, averaged 7:45

Did 5 miles of AT tempo on the way back after 10.5 miles or so. ~6:28 average according to markers and ~6:38 according to the Garmin with the tree cover tax. Slowest long run in quite some time. I was still several seconds over 8 minute guy before the tempo down Forbidden Drive. Just no energy. Mild cold coming on the last two days, and I HOPE that is the problem.I ended up walking a bit.

They apparently close Martin Luther King Drive from Falls Bridge to traffic on the weekends. It was lovely. I ran part of the Philly RnR course (Falls Bridge is ~mile 9 and you get a nice little downhill going into the final 5k) before turning around.

Nice tempo in there Jason. Good to see i wasn't the only one that took today slow. I have one of those colds coming on, too. Not good.

I thought of your run the other day while I was out there, Matt, and 20 even at 8:00 pace can be hard some days. I could have run 20 today but I doubt I would have run faster than 8:00. I've run as hard as 7:00 flat for 24. Even if the pace is easy it's still a stress run.

I'm sure next week I'll feel better and get into the 7:20-7:35 range. All in time!

These runs take it out of you. All in time is right. Next week, here we come!

Roads closed to traffic are a national treasure. Nice to get in a little training on the course.
