21 miles in 7:35 pace

Decided to stay in Utah one extra day after camping so I could do a long run with Allie and stay with my Mom one more night.  Allie was kind enough t meet me in Kaysville at 6 a.m. and we ran a route that my friend, Jami recommended into Centerville and back.  Got a little mixed up in the final few miles and ended up doing an extra mile, but I was okay with it.  Time went by quickly as we ran and chatted and when we finished it didn't feel like I had just run 21 miles.  I had water and fuel near miles 10 and 15.  I didn't feel like I needed very much this morning because it was cool and shady and I've been over-eating pretty much all week with all the family meals and vacationing.  It'll be good to get back to my regular routine of healthier food and better sleep.  

After the run my Mom met us at the park with my kids and we chatted for a bit and Jami came back to say hi.  Then I headed back to Moms, showered, ate, and drove the 8 hours back to Colorado.  The drive went very well, my kids behaved like angels and I was able to keep stops pretty short.  I did struggle with fatigue for part of the drive and since Aaron was not there to trade off driving, I guzzled a very large diet coke and  the caffeine enabled me to be more alert and arrive home safely.

What an awesome long run.

I'm glad you made it safely back home to Colorado.
