Drove from my house up the Marathon road here in St. George. The 20 mile mark just happend to fal at the top of Veyo hill. So I started out from the crest of the hill to the top of Dameron Valley its about 3 and a half to 4 mile climb. I ran this part really slow, just couldn't get going. Then once I started the down hills got into a good tempo and came to my halfway point at 1:05.16 that was at Winchestor hills area. Then started my last leg and ran fine until the light where I cut up and hit the skyline drive road. From there it was all very difficult. I just wanted to quit. Still ran a negative split and loged 1:02.20 for my last leg. Total for the run was 2:07.36 ish . I was a little bumb with the time really wanted to run 20 miles at or under 2hrs. This run tells me there is alot of work to do. My only disclaimer is that I haven't tappered off any this week or last to get ready for this run, in fact I've jumped my mileage up. Good thing its June and not September.

This would have given you a 2:47 marathon if you had kept 6:25 pace for another 10 K, and 2:57 if you had jogged it at 8:00 pace. This is consistent with your 10 K performance. Note that a 20 mile long run is going to be quite a bit slower than your 20 mile split in a marathon due to the lack of tapering and competition.
