Last Long(er) Run for DWD 50M and it was a difficult one.  10k across town, so I wanted to integrate that in at some later in the run to force myself to run harder on some tired legs.  Ran People Trails and around town before race, and got in 20 mi. prior to 10k.   Took a couple bathroom breaks along the way and ate some gels with waters.  10k turned about to be about MP, but, was more of a TH effort level - about 40min.  A couple QON! teammates surprisingly showed up and raced 5k.  Ate a banana afterward and snapped a couple pictures with them and away I went home for about 8 more miles.  Now I wasreally hurting - 9 min. pace was pretty painful in the legs pretty much the entire last 8 miles.  walked to house after watch hit 34miles.  34.3 total - 4:50
