Got up at 4:20. Ran from Newport Coast to Beach Blvd. in Huntington and back. Was able to really push pace hard in stretches. Did the 10 miles out in 71 minutes and the 10 miles back in 74 minutes, total running time 2 hrs 25 min. Average pace of 7:15 / mile. Overall it was a tough run, especially in stretches on the way back (but no surprises there). I fought hard all the way home so I'm proud and confident in my condition right now. Good to have first 20 miler in the bag this season.
