Long run. Best long run in memory! Felt really good out of the gate, and seemed to get stronger through the end. Took a 1/2 bottle of accelerade at 13 miles. Shooting for 6:40 pace, and had to pull back to get there during the first part of the run.

Recovery
:37(130) - :53(120) - 1:36(110)
Got to 18 miles feeling great, so I upped the pace a bit, planning on stopping at 2:20-2:25. Still feeling really good at 21 miles, so I kept going for the full 2:30, plus another minute to get the 23. At the end, still felt fantastic. Really felt like going for another 5K! Recovery drink, no ice bath. No soreness or tightness hours later. Everything seemed to click today.

Fantastic! You have certainly earned this run where it all comes together.
And the weather?
Thanks, Marc.
The weather...I hesitate to even mention it, because it gets old reading about how cold it is. Since you asked, though, it was -3F with a 15mph wind. My jacket froze solid after stopping for a drink and a new facemask.
Still beats the hell out of summer running!
