pm run after work. hadn't done a full centennial trail in a while and did the 6 miles out and ran on the road back. only 4 miles on pavement, 1hr 53 mins. legs felt tired and began to hurt a bit after about 10 miles. went a little hard yesterday and i guess i'm still not used to running that long. i still don't get why the body loses its ability to run distance in only a couple months after so consistently running 25 miles every week with ease. saw a milk snake on the road towards the end. 3rd snake of the year. at this rate i'll see 10 which i'm not looking forward to. i guess they're kind of cool though as long as they don't surprise you too badly.

6.75 mile am run at aspetuck. went hiking after 6.6 miles after at mountain lakes camp park in ny. saw 3 water snakes! maybe it was the same one on the way back and i really saw only 2 different ones. snake count up to 6. the hike was kind of creepy, we explored an old abandoned kids camp with empty swimming pools and overgrown basketball courts. it was straight out of friday the 13 but far creepier even during the late afternoon.

2hr pm trail run starting at huntington to centennial trail within 0.6 miles of the end before coming back. was raining so no one was at the park which was great. very nice temp and conditions. left shin started aching the last couple miles like it has started to do on runs over 10 miles. it's my own fault for being too lazy to stretch.

paced brother for 1.6 mile out and back. he was trying to beat his 11:27 but sadly he ran 11:29 last time and 11:32 today. he keeps trying different strategies but none are working so far. After i went for a run on the roads/trails. more roads than trails today. i did see a coyote butt at the boy scout reservation. the only other time i was there i also saw a coyote. kind of weird to have seen 3 this year. there must be quite a number of them in town. shin started acting up at mile 11 as usual. stretched tonight though.

ran 1 hr in providence on my old running route. it was ok but i'm so glad i live where i do now because the running terrain is really flat and boring relatively.

hiked 4.2 miles after at purgatory chasm and douglas state forest in MA.
