18mi in the books

Woke up at 6 this morning to run an 18mi race pace rout that I hadn't run in two years. I wanted more hills since the marathon is going to have 500ft of climb in it.
Lesson#1 for an early morning long run:
Lay out ALL of your stuff the night before. I had most of it together but I couldn't find my jacket and gloves.. They were at the bottom of my dirty clothes hamper. Wore them any way. Really stinky run.
But I hit my time. 18mi 2:42:56.
5 scoops infinite in 30oz water. No cramps. Could have run a couple more.
Next week is a recovery week. Shorter runs. More strength. Tomorrow is swim only. Good day.
