Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. And this morning what I had to do was run 20 miles before the kids indoor soccer games. It was pretty horrible to tell the truth. Well actually the first 7 miles were really awful, and the last 4 miles were pretty bad, those 9 miles in between that were pretty, umm! forgettable I guess. I was thinking 7:00/mile average would be a pretty good goal but I was actually able to pick it up towards the end, never faster than 6:30 pace. 20 miles in 2:17:32 6:52 avg pace. After I was done a couple came up and said, wow you run a long time on the treadmill, are you training for something. I said Boston, they said Ooooh! Funny how training for Boston is for some reason more impressive to people than training for say Ogden. No offense Ogden trainer people, I think your training is very impressive.
