I was thinking in pen metaphors: &#8220;My legs don&#8217;t have ink to write 8 miles &#8230;&#8221;  Fun metaphor, though I know you&#8217;re probably just blinking.<\/p>\n<p>As for the stats, I set out with the goal of doing my 8+ miles in under an hour, which was what I forecasted I&#8217;d do by week&#8217;s end.  I might have ended close to that, though my pace of 7:43s suggests probably not.  My first mile was on the fast side as I was pushing myself, though the heat made pushing myself pretty tough today.  However, no one passed me to my recollection.  I seemed to be holding up decently in this weather, though I was craving some water.<\/p>\n<p>I had thought I might end up faster today because I have a history of setting PRs the days after my long runs.  I think the heat was the main factor that didn&#8217;t happen today since my legs generally felt cooperative.<\/p>\n<p>My maximum heart rate for this run was 191 bpm, which for some reason is listed as 103% of my MHR despite my having set it for 195 bpm.  Hopefully that&#8217;s just a hiccup.  I didn&#8217;t have too much &#8220;creep&#8221; in my HR during this run, says the graph.  My average HR was 173 bpm.<\/p>\n<p>I waited for Elizabeth to finish as she was ending her double loop.  She finished really strong and I got in to give her a five as she was crossing her finish line.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I had my standard pre-run: ArginMax, quercetin, and PowerGel.  After my run, I hit the gym for quads, thighs, abs, arms, and pecs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ha ha!
