I ended up running with Burke Staheli and Brad Jolly this morning on the marathon course. Started at the top of the Veyo hill and ran to the park for 18. Then I ran back up to the church to get 20. Almost stepped on the rattle snake that was buzzing right in the middle of the road. I ran the first 7 just ov er 8 min pace then I dropped it to 6:30's for 3 miles then 8-8:30 until mile 20. I ran the last 6 miles pretty hard. Avg pace for the 18 was 7:46. The run felt good and should be good prep for the trails 20 miler next week.
