Won't be able to do the long run on Saturday so decided to do the Payson canyon run and just run home since it ends up being 20 miles. Went to the awesome Rush concert last night so wasn't sure how things would turn out standing for 3 hours at the concert then sleeping for not much more than 3 hours then running for 3 hours.

But the run actually went pretty well. Got a little overheated and worn out the last couple of miles but feel OK about things especially after having a nice nap afterward (thankfully I only work 1/2 day today).  With a little bit of backtracking along the way to meet back with Kim and Stephen I ended up with 22 miles. Just hope & pray I don't get sick which usually only ever happens when I push my luck with not getting enough sleep.

Lucky man! Rush and a long run only hours apart!
