Sun 7/11 - AM 2:15 plus 20 minutes in Walden

No idea what to expect for this long run after yesterday's swing and a miss. Trepidation not helped any by my inability to get as early a start as I would have liked, due of course to not being able to pry myself out of bed until 8:30. Decided to give it a go and take it as easy as necessary. Also spent the first half of the run on the flats of GMNWR and Concord center which helped. The dew point was down just a bit too which didn't hurt. In the end, got through the run with a surprising lack of fatigue given the length. Focus was there the entire way, even able to bear down in the last 30 minutes, although any pace increases were less pronounced than what I might have imagined. After 90+ minutes of running this tends to be the case. Finished feeling tired but not utterly depleted.
