A Three Hour Long Run
Yesterday morning I headed out for my first long run since my marathon on Sept. 10th. My goal was a 2 ½ hour run on my hilly route in Weingarten (a neighboring town 12KM from us). I arrived at my trailhead and realized I had forgotten my stop watch, so would have to leave the length of my run up to my instincts.
I set out at a comfortable pace over my normal route, which includes three hill climbs of 4- 8 minutes. Usually I need about 1 ½ hours for a loop, so completed the first loop, then about ¾ of the second. Based on the clock in my car I was gone for 3 hours and 5 minutes, not bad.
This upcoming week is going to be really busy at work, so I may have to be a bit more creative in getting all my runs in, we'll see. Have a good week!

You must have pretty good instincts, or you know the course well enough to know when to head back. Good luck with the creativity this coming week.

I really like how you have your training and aggrigate time set on the left side of your blog - if it would not be too much trouble, I would love to know how you did it.

Congrats on your first long run--and a hilly one at that! Since you don't mention it, I assume you're not achy at all--how great is that??
