I finally got in a long run today. I was wondering how I would feel since it has been about 6 weeks since I ran over 10 miles (can't believe that). I ended up feeling good the whole way. I just settled into a nice easy pace and my legs felt good. I thought I might start to feel tired later in the run but it didn't happen. I am curious how I will feel tomorrow. Hopefully, no soreness. I am for a normal week this week so don't want any setbacks. It was another beautiful day (60, light wind). Oh how I love Spring!!

Thanks for the feedback. I have a half marathon in 4 weeks and had hoped to have had several 16 milers in by now but didn't happen so I will work with it best I can. I will do a couple of 14/15 mile runs the next two weekends and see how I can do in the half. Probably will have to adjust my expectations.

Thanks again!
