20.0 153/165 2:38:08 (7:54 pace) Up the canyon and back.  I was trying to keep my effort at a conversational pace... After halfway I targeted 7:30 miles so my average would be 7:54 (pace of last marathon)

0.8 5:49.7 161 I ran into a guy from work who ran with me the last 1.25 miles (we chatted = conversational pace

7:57.8 152 - 2nd half was 1:15:07 - average was 7:30.7 so chatting made me miss my goal by 7 seconds, but maybe I'll do what the guy from work does (carry a water bottle, some fruit snacks and granola bars - 20 miles was a long run with no food or water!)

you ran 20 miles with no water, carbs or electrolytes? ouch.

Yeah, I don't know if its a good idea, it just seems easier than trying to figure out how to carry stuff (as if I suddenly have no hands and my pockets have holes in them...)
