I wasn't sure if a 20 miler was the right thing to do today or not. It is 2 weeks post Park City and 2 weeks until Top of Utah. I decided to run a 10 mile loop and then run the same loop again with the option of cutting it short on the second loop if I didn't feel well. Kept the pace pretty easy during the first loop (probably around 8:00/mile). Got back home and refilled my water bottle and headed out again. I was feeling pretty good so I picked up the pace a little. After a few miles into the second loop I decided that I was feeling good enough to finish the whole thing. The last 2 miles were a bit of work but other than that I feel good about the run. I am breaking in a new pair of shoes so my feet are more sore than usual. I also discovered a hot spot on my right tibia (site of a previous stress fracture) which has me a little concerned.
