20.25 in 2:32 - all of it circling Liberty Park. Lots of activity at the park this morning. I saw Bill Cobler with his East High kids, Demetrio Cabanillas, the whole Erickson clan, and I was able to do a couple laps of the park with Emily Jameson which helped pass the time. I finished up the run with some fast striders at the end. Good to run fast on tired legs every so often. I'm almost certain that this was my first 20 miler since May, 2012. I'm happy with this run. I felt good. I didn't dip under 8 minute pace until the fourth mile and still averaged 7:30 for the run. I'm feeling pretty strong 12 days out from the Utah Valley Half and a month out from Grandma's.
