16 mile long run. 5:29 average pace

We did a long run today, starting by going up Richmond Street to Oxford, west to Talbot, back down to King Street and then through the park up to Southdale and Boler. The weather was roughly -9 degrees when we started, although it warmed up a tiny bit by the end of the run. A bit of a brisk wind from the north kept us from overheating. :-) Here are my splits:

An average pace of 5:29 per kilometre. Not terrible. I was struggling for the last 8 kilometres or so. I could really feel things tightening up at about the 19 K mark. But battled through it and finished strongly.
