I found a trail that runs alongside a creek in San Jose and I ran along that today. It is similar to the Provo river trail, except that it is not as long, has more rolling hills, and due to the fact that it is inside a city of about a million people it is packed with walkers and bikers. Overall, however I can't say it was too bad. I wanted to get done sooner, and I didn't want to be running for over two and a half hours, so I took the pace a little more aggressively than I have been. I went out in 1:06:20 for 10 miles and I finished in 1:03:17 for a total time of 1:09:37 for 20 miles. On the way back I also started chasing an old man on a bike for about a mile, and I put in 1 mile in about 5:50. Other than that I was sitting around 6:20 pace for the majority of my run.
