Ran my long run today.  13 miles on the rail trail.  Felt really good at first but my AP was still slower than I like.  I really struggled the last 3 miles, taking frequent walk breaks.  I kept wondering how I was going to finish this race at a faster pace when I'm having such a difficult time at a 11:00 mile pace.  Guess I have to keep trying to go faster although I don't like it.  

Resting tomorrow then I will do an easy run friday and try some speed work on Saturday.

Great job getting your long run in on Wednesday. Cooler weather and your speedwork drills will get you to your goal!
