16 mile Long Run

Goal:
16 miles

Actual:
16 miles in 1:55 at 5:30AM

Woke up super early this morning to get in a long run before I embark on my trip to London today at 6PM.  Matt met me at 5:30 so we could add in some extra miles before the Dowd group.  My legs felt entirely sluggish and I had to ask Matt to hold back for me.  Once we met up with the Dowd crew, the pace naturally picked up and I found it somewhere within myself to not get dropped.  After I finished 9 miles with Dowd, I slowed the pace down considerably to get back into a comfortable groove of 7:45 pace.  My body is ready for a down week in London!
