After all that carb loading yesterday, I decided to go for a long run today. It was such a beautiful day I even ran outside. I figured I'd do 20 easy miles on some serious rolling hills. I ran the first 10 at what felt easily sustainable for 20 miles and then figured I'd try and negative split it. First 10 were in 1:15:30. I figured I'd try and run the second half a minute faster to finish at 2:30. I did have to run the last 2 miles sub 7 but I ran the second half in 1:14:19.

Total run 2:29:49 AP 7:29

No foot pain and I even forgot to tape.

SpeedStar 2 Miles: 20.00

Rhett, 20 miles just like that you make it sound like everyone could just jump off the couch and run 20 miles...so cool!

WOW!!! Rhett! That's an AWESOME impromptu 20 miler with a strong finish...sub 7 and negative split on serious rolling hills! YOU ARE SUPERMAN!

Oh, and TRIPLE WAHOO for no foot pain and no taping! You're 100% back!!!! SO COOL!

Great pace there Rhett. I could have stayed up with you for maybe 5 of those miles, if I'm lucky.
