It had been more than two months since my previous long run, so I was curious how it would go. It went very well! The temperature surely helped; 54 degrees. About 25 minutes before the end another runner came onto the trail a few minutes in front of me. I felt strong so I started chasing him and after 10 minutes I overtook him. Never let go of the speed and made it in a pretty good time: 2 hours, 17 minutes and change.
10.9 minutes/mile. A personal record for this course, beating my previous PR from October 2008 by 4 minutes.
