Headed out to the town of Lorane (30-40 minutes Southwest of Eugene) with Zack and Sean for a long run. Started out easy, first 3 miles ~8:20, ~8:10, ~8:00, then 7:45-8:00 the rest of the way out. Stopped briefly at the turnaround to take a pitstop in the woods and take in a gel and a bit of water, then headed back. at about 10k to go I picked it up and put a bit of distance on the other two. Mile markers told me 7:18, 7:09, 6:58, 7:07, 6:58, and 6:44 for the last six miles (and then another 1:40 to the end). As I finished I looked back and saw Zack and Sean finishing strong; apparently they had picked it up about a mile after I had, and they finished less than a minute after me.
After the run ended we stopped by this small diner/store and had a nice little lunch (burger, muffin, chocolate milk), which was perfect post-run.
I felt like the last six miles were harder than last week; it's probably because my mileage was pretty high this week.
