11 mile medium long run

Training today: 11 mi MLR, 3 mi neighborhood loop, avg 147 bpm, 1:47:15 (9:45 min/mi)

This seems like most of the MLR days I've run after a hard workout (tempo or interval). I felt very tired, but ran a faster pace at a low heart rate. I feel like I'm crawling along but I look at my pace and I'm faster than I think.

The 9:45 min/mi is somewhat deceptive because I believe my 3 mile neighborhood is relatively hilly. (Everybody has an excuse, right?) For the 11 miles today, my suunto, which gives barometric altitude, says 623 feet of ascent and 630 descent (start and stop at same point). By the way, I never set sea level, so the altitudes aren't correct in absolute terms. I'm pretty sure we're lower than that.
