Long run - 25.7k in 2.0 hrs - ave pace 4.40

Ran O.K. for 19k at 4.30 pace , then feet started to hurt and I slowed accordingly. A slow last 7ks (5.00 pace). Need a cushioned shoe for long runs or I'll never get past 2hrs ! This old body doesn't enjoy pounding pavement for that long. I have to say, I know why I haven't run a marathon for a while, running for 3hrs is just boring. I'm already starting to waver in my commitment to Canberra. Don't get me wrong, I love that smug feeling one gets when you finish a long run but I just don't enjoy hobbling around all of Sunday.

Total for week - 109k.
