First long run - 8mi

[almightytuna]

First long run is in the bag. Last year, Ryan recommended I run my long runs at a very slow and relaxed pace but by then it was nearly time for the marathon. So this year I'm trying it from the get-go. The entire run felt pretty comfortable, even for being on a treadmill. I took my heart rate a few times and was surprised to see it in the low 160s upper 150s. So even just one week in, I'm feeling good about it. I left the YMCA and came home to look at gear porn on REI.com. Torturous.
