This was a very good run. I was hoping to do better on the way back (I prefer neg splits) but am still happy that there was not too much pace degradation. LC was driving a nice pace on the way out, and we ran together for the first 2 miles, but then I stopped to hydrate (I haven't figured out how to drink on the run yet) while he kept going. He stayed ahead of me for the rest of the time (he finished about 40 seconds ahead of me). I took gummies at miles 4 and 10...i've decided to run with gummies at this year's marathon instead of those messy gels. Next week is a 15, which I will run at a very easy pace.
