Long and Slow (Really Slow)

I went for a planned run of 13 miles on Wednesday which turned into a 18.5 mile run to Salina from Lindsborg. Took two gels and about 10oz of water. 17 of the miles were straight into the cold North winds. The temp was in the upper 30's and the wind was straight from the North at about 20mph. Felt pretty good through the first ten. Started to bonk shortly after that but just kept a nice run/walk method going and arrived at my destination point 3h30m after starting. These are the types of runs I'll have to have the next few weeks to stand a chance going into RR100. This is my longest non-race training run. I did it with no Ipod and no partner. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I was done. I followed the run up with a 5 miler the next day on sore and tired legs.
