Was sore and at the cabin all weekend.  Got home from Idaho, changed, and headed down to Mona to run with Dad and Josiah.  We had Carly run us up to Bear Canyon and we ran down home.  I stayed with my Dad, other than a quick potty break, until 5.5 miles and then took off to catch Josiah.  I was still pretty sore and it took a while to get the legs and achilles moving.  I caught Josiah at mile 8 and ran home on my own.  Stopped in Nephi and got a drink and took a GU.  I got home just before dark and did another mile to make 20 miles.  I thought Josiah would be close, but he was clear back with Dad.  Dad was around 3:00 and Josiah about 2:50 for 19 miles.  I finished the 20 miles in 2:26:25 (7:18 ave).  Glad to get the first long run under my belt and glad I felt ok.  Mile 5-10 were all sub 7:00 and most after that were 7:00-7:13 accept mile 17 and 18 coming up Burraston's hill 7:31 and 7:32.
