Long Run w/ 45' @ marathon effort

60' + 45' @ marathon effort + 5' jog + 6 x 45" strides + CD to 17 miles

About 6:58 on the tempo. Faster and longer than last week. Forward progress.

Waited around most of the day, napped, and lay in bed. Thunder here and there. Watched the marathon just before Shalane pulled away. Watching marathon running makes me emotional because I know how hard it is for a recreational runner. 

Warmish today. Ran at the park. Lately I've run the roads for my first 60' but I decided to loop into oblivion for the duration. It was hard to see the last two strides as it was. Dry dark. Longest run since early this summer I think. Definitely since school started in September.

Legs were very heavy. Dark and spooky.

Took a nap this afternoon and feel alseep in the chair after dinner. I need some sun.
