Comments Wissihickon Loop coming back on West River Dr. Kept the pace as relaxed and comfortable as possible the first 12 miles or so. Midvale hill took it out of me around mile 6-7. Held steady through Forbidden Dr dirt trails. Im having some difficulty staying focused half way through the runs. Too many coffee shops along the way I suppose. Forcing myself to snap out of it I injected a 4 mile pickup on West River to get the legs moving close to marathon pace. The effort was really difficult towards the end. Staggered to a water fountain around mile 14.5 only to get one of those drippling spickets which wasn't very satisfying. Started feeling hungry/thirsty pretty early in the run but toughed it out until the end. First solid long run in my buildup to Lehigh. Much more enjoyable than those hellish winter runs of Boston training... until the heat turns up soon enough again.
