Comments Schuylkill River loop x 2 from Ridge Ave. I've been having a hard time getting in the long runs due to mental weakness. Decided I had to get it done today and force myself through the weak head while balancing all the stress of my commission work and various deadlines. Jogged easy down to the museum, stayed relaxed through the first river loop in around 57:45 (6:50 pace), slowly dropped pace but maintained equal effort in the first half of second loop, then dropped miles 14-18 in 24 mins to get a taste of marathon pace effort to round out the second loop in 54:30 (6:27). Jogged home at a pedestrian pace to shake it out a bit. The flat canal path made pace control manageable. Felt relaxed despite managing settling my mind and staying focused on a rhythmic zone. Other than that, some minor pain around the nuchal ligament, I must be tensing up my shoulders in the later miles of the run.
