21 mi in 3:07:00
Long run today on Ronald Reagan Parkway before the race. Felt good today. Some mild ache in the left SI/IT connection at times but never actually hurt except for the pull I felt when I twisted around to the right to look for cars as I was heading back into the neighborhood 0.15 mi from the end of the run. Was able to run alot of time on the soft surface of the median and shoulder on the Parkway. I could tell instantly the difference between the asphalt and the grass. The SI/IT area felt better from the beginning than recently but even so, I could tell a difference in it between the surfaces. Felt pretty strong for most of the run. Last two miles were tough and I had to fight for them. But the best take away of the day was that I never lost form. This might have bween the best week of training I've ever had.
