After watching the Browns win their second straight, I headed to the gym to get in a long run.
I did a quick 10-minute warmup on the elliptical machine then hit the treatmill. Long runs are supposed to be done at a fairly easy pace.
I cranked out the first mile in 8:34 and it felt great. So I bumped it up to an 8:13/mile pace for the next mile.
Eventually, I ratcheted it up to about an 8 minute mile pace for most of the remaining time. For the last 0.3 miles I kicked it in at 7:30/mile pace.
Total time and distance was 7.5 miles at 60:38 for 8:05/mile pace. Pretty solid for a long run, I'm happy.

Happy running!
