Yeah! *pumps arms in air*

I am so happy to get this run out of the way! I woke up at 5:30 and started running around 6.  I added this route under the course tool if you want to see it ("20 miler around Provo").

I had two major problems though.  It was much colder then I was expecting it to be, which kept me from really moving until about mile 15 when the sun finally came up.  And then when I put my sunglasses on just past University Parkway, my directions fell out of my pocket. Uh oh. I got to Utah Lake and had to stop and call my roommate to find out where I should go and then had to just figure it out as I went.  Turned out to be much better.  I'm thinking it would have been 21 miles at least if I had went the planned route.

Took 2:55 which is 5 minutes faster then my last 20 miler three-four weeks ago.  I figure I'll do better at SGM because I'll be better rested and the cold won't play such a big role in slowing me down. 

 w00t!
