18 Miles!
In 85° heat. Yuk. I did pretty well for the first 12 miles and then started to feel it. At mile 16 the heat was bad and the shade was gone and we were under the Wilson bridge. They were doing a lot of work on the bridge and the diesel fumes were very strong. That’s when I stopped with one of the other folks I was running with. Together we walked for 1.5 miles and then ran in the last half mile.
Even with the walk, we finished in a respectable 3 hours 57 mins. Considering the heat, the 13.5 min mile pace is actually fairly good. Next time we have a long run (20 miles), if its hot, I am going to run at 2am…in the dark!
