I met Barry at 5:50am.  We left his house and ran in to another group after 3.8 miles.  When we got back to Barry's we were at 8.3 miles and everyone else was done.  I ran another 5.1 around the new wellness center and back up on the new trail to Satterfield with Jedd.  Total 13.41 miles on a nice, albeit windy, morning.

I ran from my house to the Portneuf Wellness Center, then farther up the hill to Satterfield and across the top.  Worked my way back down, stopping for a quick drink at the Wellness Center, then ran the last 5 miles home right in to a fierce headwind. 

Total 16.05 miles.

I caught a ride up to the top of Buckskin with a group of 10-12 people.  Cool, misty morning.  Kept a decent pace through the first 15.  Everyone else ran 11-14 so I was alone the last 6 with a cold, nasty headwind from Inkom to Century HS.  Total 20.05 miles.  This is my first 20 miler since the Pocatello marathon last September.  Feels good.
