sixteen miles

I ran sixteen miles today so I can go skiing tomorrow (that's if the chick with the gold pass ever calls me back!). it was a beautiful day for a run. I went pretty slowly. my mantra, as any long run mantra should be, was "long and slow." long runs really aren't for speed, that's what midweek workouts are for. but my legs were tight at about six or eight miles, increasingly tighter throughout the run. how am I ever going to run 26.2? I think a lot of the problem is my shoes; I need new ones. maybe I'll go get some tomorrow... my feet were hurting by the end. that usually never happens. and I bet the shoes are contributing to the chronically tight muscles too. so we'll see.
