Out Past Gu Cornera nd down into the river bottoms, I fought a little rain and a little wind but all in all it was a pretty decent run for a change. I'll take this and hopefully I can work towards 20 miles in a couple of weeks. My average pace was 8:58 with a total time of 2:15:27, I just beat the 9 minute guy.

See you Monday.
