Long Saturday Yet Again

10 miles more! Ran today with my RBFF and real-life BFF Mo. We usuallydo our Saturdays together, leaving our houses at the same time and meeting in the middle. This time around I'd like to mix training plans a little. I had success with Hansons, but also ran my best half with Hal Higdon's advanced II program. 

That said, Mo and I ran the first 8.5 together at a leisurely pace. I ran the last 1.5 closer to marathon pace. Well, faster, actually. But I do think running faster when tired helps physically and mentally prepare one for those later marathon miles. I'm going to do the last 20-ish percent of every long run at pace (7:30) to see how I feel.
