18 mi in 2:36:40
Great run today. Felt really strong. Weather was clear and cold. Ran the hilly Dogwood Rd 6 mi loop 3 times, counterclockwise, clockwise and then counter again. Was strong on the hills even on the last loop. Some slight discomforts in the left foot and left SI/IT connection, which also has some intermittent pain. But concentration on the running form improved things and by the end I was very good. No residual afterward either (so far). Fought the stride a little after 13.5 mi. But up until then, the stride was smooth and comfortable mainting form without any effort. I felt really good at 17 but by 17.5 I was struggling a little bit. Still finished well.
