Early solo canyon run, had a family reunion to get to. Started from the soccer park at 4:40am and ran easy up past south fork park 10 miles in 1:12. 6 mile tempo to start the return in 34:58 (5:49 pace). Tried to cruise easy the last 4 but it's hard to slow down after the turnover going back down the canyon. Finished the return 10 miles in 1:01. Feeling good about the upcoming races. Total time for the 20 miles was 2:13, 6:39 avg. Congratulations to my friend and running buddy Scott on the win today! So awesome to see! And all class on top of it. I am grateful to have training partners that let me chase them around during the week. I continue to be inspired by all of them.
