20 mile run in 2:15:37 (6:46 min mile pace). Out the door at 4:15 a.m. Left the house and went over to Washington and down through the fields out past Staheli farms and down past Stone Cliff into the Boulders. Then down into St. James to the trail back up on the trail to the post office and down to the DC. Got a good cold drink at the DC and used the potty. Now back up the trail to Barefoot and then up over past DSC and back to Middleton. Overall it was a very fair course- although the last couple miles didn't feel fair coming up out of the river into Middleton. I was going to do some tempo miles but decided to just hold a good solid pace for the entire run. Really never started to feel bad and was able to finish strong with the last mile being the fastest (6:13). Like I said just a even effort for the 20 and that's what I needed. Something about running a good 20 miles really helps my body come around with the training.

.4 cool down. Not really enough but I really wasn't all worked up anyways.

After running a pretty good 20 miles this morning I was craving something some might call a "no-No". However by mid-day I could no longer hold off the temptations of In-and-Out Burger. The two cheese burgers and fries really hit the spot and I know it wasn't the very best thing I could have eaten... but it tasted so good it made me feel like a CHAMPION! And that's what counts- right?

Fantastic run this morning! I am still recovering from WBR and here you are pumping out 20M at a 6:45 pace! You are amazing, keep it up.

I'm up for meeting in PC. There are a lot of options depending on what type of surface you want to run, or whether you want to run hills, flat, or whatever.

If we get a group, I'm willing to meet early morning in PC before the heat comes.

Steve- Glad you could make it. I will have to go early because I've got things planned the rest of the day. Since your the local guru why don't you plan a loop for us. I'll be driving up Thursday afternoon and will be there Friday and Saturday. I'm guessing we will meet on Saturday morning. I also will not have a car so I'll have to either meet at my hotel or someone will have to pick me up. I think we are staying at the Marriott-Mountainside Villas. I'll have my mountain bike and could possibly ride somewhere as long as it was a safe place to leave it. Think about it and give me a call @ 435-632-2459

After reading about Alan Webb's dietary habits I do not think you should worry about it too much.
