16 mile (25.75 k) long run - 5:37 average pace.

Jed and I joined the Runners Choice marathon training group today again for a long run. The weather was nicer than previous days -- the high was -8 C. -- and there was a light snow. Here is the route:

Jed and I put in another 4 miles before we started this route, and we extended the run out past the Terry Fox Parkway to give us a total of 16 miles.

I screwed up a bit with the GPS so the total kilometres don't add up, but here are my splits for (roughly) the last 12 miles:

5:30
5:34
5:32
5:26
5:32
5:33
5:26
5:19
5:36
5:36
5:33
5:16
5:41
5:46
5:36
6:04
5:52
6:02
5:42

My legs were certainly feeling it at the end. Jed, however, continued to power up the hills! Average pace over those 19 k was 5:37.
