As much as I don't like to run on Sundays, I had little choice. We had our first soccer game of the season Saturday morning at 8:00AM -- just no time to get in a 20 miler before the temps got to 80 or 90, so I opted for Sunday morning.

Ran with Darin and Dave. Picked up a new pair of Saucony's last night at Academy Sports. $39..not bad. And they felt great on the 20 miler. I'll put them away now and save them for St George.

The cool temps felt great!
