16.0 miles in 2:04:24 7:47 minutes/mile pace

So the goal today was to run 16 miles at 8:00/mile pace. I never push myself on these longer runs, so I figured that I should try and do at least a little better. I started at the base of Provo Canyon by the gas station and ran up to Vivian Park. Then I went up South Fork. Once I reached the 8 mile mark I turned and ran back down. I felt really good and the best thing is that I was able to finish strong. Below are the splits:

1-8:33 Lots of wind heading up.

2-7:42

3-7:57

4-8:36 Stop at water fountain

5-7:29 Right on track for 8:00 miles when I hit Vivian

6-8:12 uphill

7-8:07 upholl

8-7:43

9-8:53 Bathroom stop

10-6:42 Downhill and trying to back off so that I don't die at the end of the run

11-7:18

12-6:58

13-7:48

14-8:01

15-7:01

16-7:17
