16 MILE LONG RUN @9:05 AVG PACE

Plan:
3@9:00,
10@8:30
then 3 No slower than 8:10

Legs felt good today, I was ready for this run!! But man the 97% humidity sucked big time!! But got it done, it's over, ready for my next run!! I ate oatmeal/banana, and had my coconut water about 45 before the run. & 30min before the run, I downed a gel. During the run I drank gatorade at miles 3, 5, 7w/gel, 9, 11, 12w/gel, 13 and then rotated water/gatorade for miles 14,15&16. Ok, truth be told, I am SO glad this run is over. Ouch, it hurt, but a different hurt than before.
