I knew that there was no way that I would survive 20 miles around the neighborhood so I extended the loop a little.  I first started by running to 7-11 to get some Gatorade and the 1.5 mile return while holding 2 big bottles wasn't very comfortable.  I then ran a 4 mile loop that extended through the adjacent neighborhood and returned home for a drink and to check on the kids.  I ran another 3 or 4 mile loop in another direction.  I continued this pattern a few times running a loop that was 3-4 miles and returning home to make sure that everything was alright.  Fortunately, the kids were tired and stayed asleep the entire run.  I kept the pace pretty easy (7:40-8:00 / mile depending on the terrain).  I live near the Front Runner stop in Woods Cross and they are getting ready for the free ride day today.  They have a few port-o-potties set up and there is something about the smell of them that reminds me of races.  Every time that I would run by, memories of past races would come back.

I was only planning on 20 miles but extended it to 20.8 so that I would have 90 miles for the past 7 days.  This is a weekly pr for me even though it is artificially high because I had to move my long run last week from Saturday to Sunday. 

Total Time: 2:43:00 (7:50/mile)

90 miles! Nice work. Does that earn you a day off tomorrow, or just an easy run?

Just an easy 10. I have one more big week then I will taper for Ogden.
