A civilized pace

As most of the GBTCers were laying low or racing at the USATF XC in Kentucky, I decided to get out for an easy long run. I did meet with one other GBTCer who ran with me for 75 minutes before he headed home.
I made sure to take it easy during this run, and much to my amazement running over 2 hours isn't so bad when done at a pace that is reasonable for current fitness levels. I could have easily continued for more time, but I didn't see the need for that just yet. Once I got to 2 hours I did pick up the pace for the last 20 minutes with relative ease. I was thirsty at the end of the run. Running these 2hr plus runs without fuel and fluids is certainly new for me, but I don't plan to make a habit of it.
