Running long 2:43:02 [2] 22.0 mi (7:25 / mi) +226m 7:11 / mi
Did it. The long training run.
Tried to convince myself when I woke up that tomorrow would be better for the run (cloudy, cooler temps), but then I worked a bit on my self-evaluation and decided I might as well just get it over with.
It went well, I snuck in the two extra miles in addition to last week's run at the beginning, which was good mentally, to not think of them as occurring at the end. I felt pretty good the whole way around. Tired at the end, but not destroyed, still able to keep the pace I wanted.
The little water bottle is pretty awesome for these training runs. I filled it up 5 times, plus just drank extra water at the last water stop. I had a Luna bar 7.5 miles in and a caffeinated gu about 15 miles in. It will have to be gu for the real marathon, even at this pace it was hard to chew and not aspirate.

Running tempo 53:02 [4] 8.01 mi (6:37 / mi) +131m 6:18 / mi
Again didn't want to do this! So delayed until the evening. Bah.
Didn't feel as great as last week's, but still better than the first week. Plus I started to fast. I'm not trying to run a marathon at 6:20 pace, should stick to the 6:40!!!

2nd annual Labor Day Canby Ride
A Reed-college cycle gang headed out for the 2nd edition of this ride on this day. I didn't make the inaugrural, because hadn't yet me the others of the sporty crowd. Anyways, a very easy pace around Canby, until I diverged with Bryan and Andrew to go back via Tryon and Council Crest.
BBQ afterwards at Suzy's, then off to the first open night of the Reed College Telescope!! Students ran the shop like pros and showed others a few globular clusters, open clusters and the Ring Nebula. Unfortunately Saturn was behind some trees.
