I ran 20 miles today in 2:29:48 (7:29). Up and down emmigration canyon.
I don't know why. But I do know this... when I got home from the run there was this huge bowl of little Snickers bars on the counter. I ate about seven of them. Yum.

OK, I do know why. I had 50 miles going into today and for some reason it was important for me to hit 70 for the week rather than a paltry 66 or 67. Because, as most experts will tell you, it's important to be obsessed with round numbers. |
