It was cool 32, misty and some wind this morning.  I wanted to stretch out my distance today and start getting back to the long runs.  I want to get back to the 20 range as soon as I can so that I can incorporate some long MP runs into my training before Boston.  I felt ok this morning and ran a few easy miles before getting into a good pace.  I felt good up until around 12 miles and ran out of gas a little.  I didn't take anything to drink or any gels with me so I think I was just running out of energy.  Even though I didn't feel the best I stayed at the same pace the rest of the way.  I was glad to get a longer run in now I hope I can get my overall mileage up next week and get back into a good routine.

32 degrees, windy, no water, no fuel, I'd say you held up really well under those conditions! Already at a decent base to increase your miles from so it should go pretty smoothly.
