Somehow managed to convince the missus to come out at 6:30AM today. 30°F, pitch black. We headed across the bridge into New Jersey & did 15 miles at (her) endurance pace. Then the fun started:

She turned around and headed back at what I presume (or hope!) was a slightly-faster-than-endurance pace. I continued in the opposite direction for another ~half mile or so, but down hill. Then I turned around...and played Catch The Rabbit.

So basically I wound up doing a 15 mile warm-up, followed by a 10 mile time trial that started with a climb. I would like to say that after I caught her I resumed a cool-down pace, but frankly I was so wiped by that point that I was just trying to hang on to her wheel. Great workout, just under 30 miles total. A veritable buttload of fun!
