6 mile trail run with Tina at 7:00 a.m. up the dark trail and along the canyon road above the gate and back down.  Nice to be back on the trail with the snow gone at that elevation.  The stream is so full!  Then headed to the gym with Sharon.  30 minutes cycling (15+15), then 30 elliptical in the cinema, and 20 minutes weights, upper body.  A great workout this morning, but I'm spent.
