16 Miles with LRG, 5 Runners today.  Stayed with the faster 2 some of the group for the majority of the run, on the hills if I pulled away, I would loop around a side street at the top and rejoin them.  It was nice to be out with others.  Around mile 11 it was mostly downhill back and I picked up my pace some.  I ended up running the last 4 or 5 sub-8, mostly around 7:30.  I did get tired and thirsty for the last 1.5 miles.  Still kept it under 8's.  

For nutrition, I had 2-10oz bottles with a sports drink packet split between them.  These were in my new waist pack, it did a lot of twisting on me, but otherwise was ok.   Took 2 shot blocks around mile 11.

 

Felt much better than the end of my 14'er two weeks ago.  Nutrition has been really good lately.  Last night was 12 oz of teriyaki grilled salmon and mixed veggies.
