Finished a 18 mile run today + 1 mile walk. Went all the way to mile 10 at Sammamish River Trail which is suppose to be the end of it.

Pace was slow, but hopefully it will improve as there are still 8 more weeks. Till 8 mile it was alright, easy coasting. After that it was getting a little difficult. By the time I reached the park which is at 9.5 mile mark, it was tiring. Then I took a break at the park, refill water, eat a GU. Then restarted to reach the 10 mile mark. The small rest definitely helped, and plus the scenic flat route made it easier to cover the distance. Also I noticed that I am running quite slow, close to 13.2 pace as oppose to my regular 12. The actual course has so many hills that I really need to work on speed if I want to finish this in under 6hrs.
