52F, N 19 mph.  20 @ 7:11 AP.  Slugging through that painful 18-miler last weekend seems to have paid dividends.  Once my legs recovered from that, they've seemed ready to run normally again.  Finished up this one with a couple 6:40s, and then a 5:51 for mile 20 (downhill).  Basically ran for about the same time and effort as last week but got an extra couple miles out of it.  Do I dare to think I might be in shape in time for Hells Hills in 2 weeks?

PM: Went to Thin Air with the kids and had way more fun than I thought I would.  I'll be a lot more sore from all the climbing, jumping, swinging, etc than I will be from the 20 miler.

Good run Joe. And GREAT exclamatory remark, Derunzo. Sounds like something that should have been a quote on Seinfeld.
