AM - early - met the group in downtown Clearwater to run the bridges. Ken and Tim met me at 5:30 and we did a short 3 miles and circled back to meet the big group of about 25 runners to do the main loop. Saw Vinny for the first time in a few years. Ken has a cold and kept his run to only 12 while Tim did his planned 15. I ended up running a number of miles with Vinny - good conversation. Then completed my 20 by running solo for the last 5 miles north almost to Dunedin on Edgewater before I turned back to downtown. Very relaxing - non-stressful effort. Last 10 miles were around 7:40 pace. Just really feeling good.

Yup - last one. Felt nice to have a smooth comfortable 20 miler 2 weeks out.

Another strong week, Bret. Good, patient buildup this spring.
