Long run yesterday, 20 miles in in 2:34:11, 7:42 average. Pete and I drove to the oceanfront, started at about 6:30 am... of course it was very hot and humid again and there was a lot of smoke in the air for some reason. I paced Pete for his run, which was supposed to be 7:40 average, then I finished the last 8 miles on my own.

I wish I had been closer to 7:30, but I also didn't want to push it after last weekend. After the first two miles I averaged 7:37 which is a little better.
The rest of the week was just mileage, no big workouts since it was supposed to be a rest week. I hit 70 miles this week, for the first time probably since college. Next week is supposed to be a "rest" week as well, but I still have to make up a 12 mile marathon pace run, which I think I will do on Sunday.
Kinda feel tired today, and a little sore. Probably because we were entertaining family all weekend and we spent all day Saturday at Busch Gardens and all day yesterday at the beach in the hot sun. I feel like I've been downing fluids all day every day and barely getting enough in. (Hmmm... maybe I should have skipped the beers yesterday and just stuck with water?)
