University of Toledo campus and trail - 16 miles, averaged 7:30. Changed my plans of hitting another trail because I couldn't get around the parade. Misty, and not really an enjoyable run, but I got in 2 hours on my feet and kept the pace as honest as I could for how I was feeling. 

I was a bit off on my predictions, but I did okay. Lesson of the day: never underestimate Fritz. I thought 2:23 given his rebuilding months. Boy, was I wrong. Amazing stuff. Congrats to all. 

Off to Megan's brother's wedding. I'll try not to drink and eat much more than I already did this weekend.
