17 mile long run. Was aiming to get 10 miles at under 7:00 pace, but the first 7 are uphill so I was just hanging on. After that 7 I picked up the pace and the next 2 miles were under 7:30, followed by 6 miles under 6:55 (6:55, 6:53, 6:55, 6:45, 6:50, 6:55) Two miles easy uphill to finish out the run. Didn't feel great today, but powered through and made it. Felt pretty good the second half, once the uphill was over. But I like my loop so I will probably continue to run it!
2:12:36 overall time, 7:48 average pace.
