Did a large loop around Lehi.  Woke up at 4am, which was a whole 15 minutes before I had planned to get up.  I thought celebrating a good race on Saturday deserved a nice 20 mile victory lap, especially since I didn't do to many miles last week to recovery for the race.  And since I only have 8 weeks until my first 50k, I figured I may as well start really training for it. 

It was much colder heading north than the temp indicated, due to the very nice wind.  so I enjoyed the only 3 mile stretch of north run to begin with.  Heading south I couldn't feel any wind at all so actually kind of got warm.  I had sort of measured most of this loop once, but wanted to run it to see how far it really was.  It was a little icy in spots, in particular pioneer crossing concrete road was very slippery, so stayed on the sidewalk for that stretch.  And when I got back to the trail, back to familiar territory, and knew I had 5 miles left, that was a good place to be.  I ate nothing before hand, and had 2 of my freshly made chex/honey/almond/sugar snack cubes during the run, which seemed to be enough for today. I used endomondo on my phone today so my wife could track my run, which is where the map came from.  I made it back to the steps of my house when the battery died.  So between pandora and gps/endomondo, it made it 20 miles, and about 3ish hours out running.
