10MILE SLOW PROGRESSION LONG RUN

Plan for today was 10 miles:
First 4 miles @9:30
Next 4 miles @9:15
Last 2 miles @ no slower than 9:00

Legs felt good, tho at the start felt like cob webs, but by mile two they set into the grove. First 2 miles were uphill, which accounts for the higher HR, but again, no huffing and puffing so alls good. For the last 2 miles my legs just wanted to take off, but I held back and kept it in check with the plan. Nice breeze during the run and at end barely broke a sweat. During todays run I sipped powerade cut with water every 2 miles. Trying to acclimate myself hydration wise for the marathon.
