am--20 Well I hit my 2nd 20 miler and, simultaneously, my 1st 70-mile week. With the long run I was shooting for a steady pace on a route that had some ups and downs built into it. I started the reverse loop around Clary then took off up 400 E. in Ivins. I went the length of the parkway w/ extensions up to Tuachan and up to the toll area in Snow Canyon. The last 5 I went down the length of Valley View and back home. The body felt good most of the time. Although after about 17, the mind and the body start to question themselves. My overall pace was 9:00/mile. According to all the charts, my long run pace should be between 8:30 and 9:30. So, realistically, I feel good about the run today. Next week, I'll back off a little.
