I'm late posting this because I went straight from yesterday's long run to a wedding that ate up the rest of the day and evening, but here's the gist: a great 20-miler, if there is such a thing. Freezing at the start, but Mike went with so at least we suffered together. Slower pace than a week ago, which paid off, I really didn't feel pain or fatigue much at all. Quads a little tired at the end, but that's it. Had water, took gu, solved the world's problems, kept a good pace, watched the sun come up and the temp warm (some), and really enjoyed the miles. All between 7:05-7:35, then two 6:50s at the end. 2:25 overall. It's almost go time, I think I'm ready.

Good run....sounds like you're ready especially if 20 didn't make you tired! Under 2 weeks to go!
