I actually pulled myself out of be this morning in order to put in a 20-miler before starting another 12 hour shift at 8 AM. I'm kinda proud of myself.
Felt really good so I pushed the pace. I was also in a hurry so that I would get to work on time. Ended up doing the 18 mile measured portion of the run in 1:52:27 = 6:15 average pace. Even though this is the official measured lakefront course that thousands of people run on every weekend I have my suspicions that several of the 0.5 mile sections are a little short. I think that I was really closer to 6:20 pace.
Out in 57:23 (6:22), back in 55:04 (6:07). Pushed it to marathon pace for the last 1.5 (5:47 pace).
