switched a few things around this week to allow for a longer-than-called-for long run on sunday, for my second organized long training run. schedule called for 14 but because of the course, 16 works better. so i moved 2 miles from saturday to sunday.

this week i did my first organized long training run, which included pace groups with leaders as well as fluids, fuel and bathrooms, plus medical support (if needed). i found i really enjoyed running with the group and having the pace set for me was really useful. i have another one of these coming up next month, and if all goes similarly well, i will probably try to go with a pace group in the marathon.

only bummer this week was not making it to yoga class.
