18 Miles Torture Run

18.08 miles, 2:40:11, 8:51 pace, Avg HR = 147, Max HR = 155

This was a miserable run. I guess I knew it would be bad since I only had four hours of sleep and didn't eat/drink/sleep well over the past week. But it was good to complete my longest run to date. The main saving grace during this run was the fact that Julie rode the bike beside me the whole way, and offered encouragement and gatorade the whole way. She also dangled the carrot with about 3 miles left . . . a post-run Jamba Juice smoothie.

8:32, 7:57, 8:11, 8:19, 8:05, 8:03, 8:10, 8:21, 8:14, 8:26,
(this is where it got really difficult to continue)
8:50, 9:12, 9:45, 9:21, 9:37, 10:03, 10:23, 10:07

This is really bad compared to my 16 mile run a few weeks ago when I finshed the last two miles at a 7:45 pace and could have gone another two easily.
