Didn't see a single person on the trail.  Perfect time for me to be out there.

2 mile - 19:19.81, 19:10.77

2.1 marker - 1:00.82, 1:03.87 = 43:38.60

Rucking for a little over an hour.  We'll just play it safe and say we covered 2.5 miles.

I was initially only going to go 4.2 miles like I usually do, but then I ran into some hikers on the trail.  Curious as to how far they went, I ran a little further.  Five miles this morning which isn't that much further, but those hikers must have gotten a real early start to get as far as they did on the trail.

Start - 54.12, 1:01.68

2 mi - 19:04.72, 19:24.56

2.5 marker - 4:59.80, 5:07.90 = 50:32.78

Running at about a 10:07 pace which is blistering for me.  I wonder if I could run faster without all the little hills on the trail.

It was supposed to be an easy jog, but even though I was jogging, it felt like a hard run.  It was just rough.  I was going to walk my least favorite hill, but I decided against that and just slowed down going uphill.  That made it easier.  For an easy run day, the pace was easy, but the effort just seemed to be more than I expected to have to put in for a fun run.  Average about a 12 min mile out and a 12:30 back.  (49:17.85)

Slept in this morning which felt good.  I woke up without having to set an alarm clock.  On the other hand, I was behind schedule from the moment I woke up.  Cut the run short in order to keep the rest of the day on track.

Out - 10:33.68   Back - 10:40.78

Although the hills are small, they sure make this trail suck.  If I could somehow start at the other end so I could attack the hills on the way out and then coast on the way back.  I wonder if I can run faster on a flat trail, but I have my doubts.  Nobody on the trail this morning but me.  Nice!

Finished the day off with a short 6.4 mile hike with about 35 to 40 lbs in the pack.  Average about a 17:30 mile.  Not bad but not spectacular either. Cool temps meant that I didn't break much of a sweat.  I might be paying for this tomorrow.  We'll see when I wake up.  And tomorrow is my least favorite day of the year when we lose an hour of sleep.

3.1 Out - 51:24.85  Back - 53:09.34

.1 Out - 2:11.35    Back - 2:12.30 = 1 hr 48:57
