13 miles in 2 hours flat!

This whole week I was feeling pretty strong, it's either the conditioning is kicking in, or the temperatures weren't so bad. Today I opened it up just a little on the way out and paid for it a bit the last 3 miles, but overall felt pretty good. Great conditions 70's, no rain, no sun.

I am learning about where I need to keep the heart rate, 155-160 for early in the run, 160-165 is good and sustainable, 165+ and it seems to keep going up so maybe for hills and the end of the run, but 170+ and I am burning matches, I have about 2 miles of that in me before I hit the wall and have to pull it way back. Recovery from 170's is reluctant.

Gu tasting notes: chocolate: like the pudding--amazing, lemon: tastes better during run than prior, strawberry banana: awful especially when warm. Got the variety pack, so more notes to come.

Work/run balance: advantage run
