Long run for the week, ended up finishing in 2:14:31, so 7:53 avg./mile pace. I think my splits for the first half of the run and second half of the run were pretty even. I felt okay for the majority of the run, not too tired or not really raring to go faster. Overall, I thought it was a good run.

 Total time of 2:39:42. First half of run in 1:19:32, so pretty much right where I wanted to be at. Second half of run in 1:20:10, so a tiny bit off pace, but overall it was a good run. The last 3 miles were a considerable amount harder for me than the rest of the run, I slowed down to about an 8:50 mile from mile 17-18, but then knowing that I only had 2 more miles left I sped up to about an 8:00 mile from 18-19, and then about 7:30 mile from 19-20. Probably it was a lot mental, since I knew I could run 17 miles and did so last week without much difficulty. It was raining lightly for the majority of the run.

Not exactly what I had wanted to do today, but I thought it was in my best interest to not run too many miles in oder to not make my cold worse than it already was and I think I  still may have overdone it. At the halfway point I was at 1:01:26. Sceond half was 1:02:32, so a total time of 2:03:58 (8:15 avg. mile/pace).

30:13 overall time, 7:31 avg./mile pace. Felt like I sped up quite a bit in the last half mile. The plan for this Saturday is to run 20 miles. I'm still feeling sick (congestion in the sinuses mainly), but I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes. My first marathon is about a month away.
