15 mile run

i have just completed (last night) my first long run of the training season. i set out a run around a few areas of Sheffield that totaled to around 15.5 miles. now still as i know, this is very minute in comparison to 100, it would still require 85 miles, however, this is ONE of the longest runs i have ever done in my life, and i felt good, and i completed it with no shortcuts what-so ever, my mental state was in some strange kind of trance, i didn't at any point feel beaten, my muscles got tired, but my mind was very alive.

anyway, a few notes an reminders for me: My feet are getting tougher, less and less of my body is aching in the same places as where they did at the beginning of the week, with no hot spots at all building up on my feet. i was very shocked that i didn't even get a little repetitive rub mark. i used vasaline on my thigh's and ahem... it worked though ha.
my aims, this week are to tweak my run program as i feel that i may have been a little un-confidant? and put less miles down, than i may need to practice with. also i need to tweak my body. on my run yesterday, i noticed a few things that may be helped in my running. My back, started getting tired and it made me want to collapse forward onto a beautiful springy bed, and my abs really ached. things like my neck and deltoid's from holding up my arm... just general aching and lowering of performance, i don't wish to become sloppy when i get tired, as im still on the road at present which really simplify's my course (no rocks, logs or rivers to cross).
things i could do to train these, press ups, light dead lifts, pull ups, side lateral raises, leg curls and on. i will be writing a plan out about these, i am familiure with training my body and it feels quite a natural understanding for me to work on what i want to boost its performance where i want. however, i will also be looking at long distance trainers advice etc.
something else i will be looking at will be what i eat before a long run. yesterday i felt no belly aches and no needs to dump a load ha-ha, thats quite rare for me. what i ate was a few sun dried tomatoes, full English breakfast and a sandwich. the day before i had a Chinese...
