62F (rising), mostly clear, sunny - Fall training
group run from the Levee. For most, this was their last long run before tapering for the race. Luckily, the weather cooperated. I led out the 8:00/mi group again, but didn't do a very good job of maintaining a consistent pace for them. Probably due to the cooler temps, we were generally running 10-15s faster per mile. The HR looked good, so I didn't fight it. About mid-way thru, I needed a restroom break, then spent the next mile+ running at tempo pace to catch back with the group. Soon after, my legs started getting tired. The last couple miles were more of a struggle than I'd like, but we only slowed to ~8:15/mi pace. Note to self: in the future, try not to play 2 soccer games the night before (less than 10hrs) a 22mi run!
