20 Miles

My poor dad is having such problems this year. He was supposed to hit the road with us this morning but he has had one bloody nose after another. A few days ago he couldn't get his nose to stop bleeding and had to go to the doctor again. Needless to say he wasn't allowed, or in the shape, to run today. So me and Todd went out by ourselves.

The run was pretty fun. I changed up the course a bit. We started at the usual spot but instead of going west we went north on 89 until we hit Mutton Hollow. Oh how fun Mutton Hollow was. About 2 1/2 miles of fun downhill. Then we ended up in west Kaysville and west Layton. We found our way to Syracuse where we ended up at Stacey's.

Todd started struggling around mile 16. Luckily I was feeling great so I gave him a mile long pep talk. He perked up a bit and I knew he would make it. We separated a bit but both finished by dropping on the grass once we hit 20.

We were so tired we again forgot to get pictures. BUT...Todd later sent a picture of the toenail he will probably lose in a few days. :)
