Notes
Didn’t sleep much last night but behaved myself and felt pretty good this am. Mostly easy out of the gate and it felt easy. Continued to pull back early to make sure I had some left in the tank for the 2nd half. Pretty uneventful other than Spotify and a new arm band for the iPhone. A GU @ 7 and then a stop @ Hannaford at 8.3. Looped around SPV and the up the Gebung. Back at the house at 16 for a water spiked with Nuun and another GU for the final 4. After the stop I was a little stiff and it took some to get going. @ some point I figured out I could probably finish within the 2:42 neighborhood and that became the goal. Around 19.5 I started to push a little, and by 19.7 I was just a couple minutes from home on Grammar St and I started yelling at myself. “PUSH! FUCKING PUSH! WORK! NO MORE GIVING IN!” Over and over. I definitely startled a coupled of people on their porch drinking coffee or in their yard poking around. When I finished I mumbled something myself again about the work I had just put in. This is my best 20 miler by far by about 5+ mins.
