My longest run yet and then the beach...

This week was busy. Lots of work and I'm taking some time off to go to my parents' beach house which will be a 5 hour car trip to Rehoboth, DE. I want to take time to relax at the beach so I've decided to skip the back to back runs on the weekend and do one long run tomorrow - 6 hours or 32 miles which ever comes first. I've carbed up and hydrated all day so all I need now is some rest. If I make this distance it will be the longest I have ever run at one time. I want to keep my pace under 11 minutes which will be a challenge for me because I have a tendency to play head games with myself during the later miles of these long runs. And as I learned last week if I'm not prepared I won't do well mentally. I finally got in touch with the people at the Run for Congo NYC branch and I will be connecting with them more. But now its time to sleep...
