20 miles around the neighborhood and Sugar House this morning. Time was 2:26:50 for a 7:20 average. Not bad considering I didn't dip under 8 minutes until mile 4.

First 20 miler of 2015 and it's not even July!

Just realized I'm going to Mormon church this afternoon. #suit #tie #100 degrees! I'll think cool until then.

That's a good effort, Rob. Happy Father's Day!

Nice run Rob! Are you going to a runner's farewell? I always found the post church farewell parties to be fun.

You got it Fritz. Blake Bennion's from here on the blog.

Check out his race report from yesterday.

Hope you did your miles prior to 6am?

Good to see you out doing a long run Rob. Do you think you might make another attempt at the marathon sometime in the future?

They usually keep the inside of the church just a few degrees above freezing in the summer. You should be nice and cool.

Emily - it was pretty cool in the church. I was more referring to the 50 yard walk from my air conditioned car to the air conditioned church :-)

Steve - Thanks. The thought is always lurking somewhere in the back of my mind.
