Mondays are long run day, and today was my longest run ever—9 miles (14 km). Went well, and if I discard the warm up and cool down time, 8 of those miles were ran at a 9:22 pace.
I also brought along some Untapped "athletic fuel" to test out. It was much easier to consume than energy bars and most gels, and didn't feel like a lump in my stomach as I continued to run. Will have to bring some along on those long bike rides when I actually need that boost of energy to keep going.
