I ran the first 11 miles with my brother Andrew. We took a loop down into Steilacoom, the first city to be organized in Washington, and then past fort Nisqually before coming back home. We finished the first 11 miles in about 1:21:30. After this, I ran 9 more miles alone. I ran these miles a little faster, and finished 20 miles in 2:26:49. This is one of the slowest 20 milers that I have done in a while, in part because I have been feeling just a little under the weather since Wednesday, and I did not want to push the pace at all.
