Well, back in Utah.  Texted Ryan yesterday to make sure he was up for a run?, he said sure, I said, 20?, he said sure, I said 28.3? He said NO.  :) 

I was in the mind set that after my busy week I'd be doing pretty well just to get through a 20 miler today.  Un-benounced to me, Ryan had much grander plans in mind.  Apparently he wanted to do the whole run at or below 6:30 pace.  I was feeling good at first and kind of led the pace pushing for the first 5,  we were pretty even for the next 4 then he just kind of took off like a rabbit for a couple miles, I stayed with him but it was rough.  We took a quick bathroom break at the Smiths on Redwood in Saratoga Springs and then took off again pretty quick, but not as fast as before.  Around mile 16 I started really lagging he got about 10 seconds out in front of me and for the last 4 miles it was pretty much all I could do to keep him in range.  Still ended up pretty close to 6:30 for the whole run, his watch said he did it so I must have been about 30 seconds behind to finish :(.  Pretty good though, we used to struggle to keep a 7:00 pace on that exact run 1 year ago. So good progress.
