20 mile run in 2:15:37 (6:46 min mile pace). Out the door at 4:15 a.m. Left the house and went over to Washington and down through the fields out past Staheli farms and down past Stone Cliff into the Boulders. Then down into St. James to the trail back up on the trail to the post office and down to the DC. Got a good cold drink at the DC and used the potty. Now back up the trail to Barefoot and then up over past DSC and back to Middleton. Overall it was a very fair course- although the last couple miles didn't feel fair coming up out of the river into Middleton. I was going to do some tempo miles but decided to just hold a good solid pace for the entire run. Really never started to feel bad and was able to finish strong with the last mile being the fastest (6:13). Like I said just a even effort for the 20 and that's what I needed. Something about running a good 20 miles really helps my body come around with the training.
.4 cool down. Not really enough but I really wasn't all worked up anyways.

After running a pretty good 20 miles this morning I was craving something some might call a "no-No". However by mid-day I could no longer hold off the temptations of In-and-Out Burger. The two cheese burgers and fries really hit the spot and I know it wasn't the very best thing I could have eaten... but it tasted so good it made me feel like a CHAMPION! And that's what counts- right?
