Woke up early and headedout on a 20 miler this morning before the XC meet in PG.  It was dark for the first 7-8 miles, but great temps.  I ran my standard 20 miler since moving here 6 years ago, up around the Cove where I have a drink planted, down to Main and then up to Butterfield Canyon where drik #2 is, then up the canyon 2 miles, then turn around and run home the same way and hit the driks a second time.  Never felt great, I am just not 100% yet from injuries or sickness and my training has been super weak, but I still finished strong and ran the last 10 in 1:06:35 with the last mile in 6:06.  Total time was 2:27:36, 7:22 ave.  Last 20 before St. George.  Usually I am relieved, this time I wish I had 3-4 more!  I am definitley not ready for this marathon.

Kids ran well today.  My girls won the meet without myAll-American, and the JV kids kicked butt too.
