A long run that started out as "time on legs" but ended up being a pretty good and fulfilling workout. We turned back at mile 11ish at which point my tired legs didn't feel tired any more. In fact, it felt good to stride out a bit so I decided to try to keep it up for a mile. And then another and another and...until I was back to the car. 11 miles at an average 7:03 pace - felt fantastic but tired. Ran with Jon, Erik, Brad, Seth and Jim. Jon is two weeks out for Portland - he did marathon pace all the way back. I think things are coming together for him - Boston bound.
