hiked 4hrs 40 min and 10.8 miles in shawangunks. went to sam's point (not that cool) then to the ice caves (ridiculously cool). literally cool. there was still ice in this one part of the cave. There was solar powered motion sensing lights and a door you went through. a really cool experience. then hiked to vanderkill falls which was pretty good. then hiked to high point (the highest point in the shawangunks) which wasn't very high. good day.

went all out to howling pete's lookout at terre haute. I think this is

my fastest time ever but i need to check my previous times. I wiped out

on the short muddy flat section trying to go around a water pool.

Luckily the ground was soft. I felt really strong to the top of the

first climb of 400ft mostly in 0.55 miles. I enjoyed the 200ft descent

that followed and started hurting on the second big climb of 250 ft. At

least i know there is room for improvement. I touched the bench in 16

min 27 sec leaving me with the goal to break 16. 5 sec could be gotten

back by not falling. Sub 15 would be sick. I didn't really plan on

running hard. I was pretty tired after and suffered horribly on the

rest of the loop of huge, washed out hills. total vertical over 1700ft.

ran 2 miles at huntington with kristin then time trialed whortleberry out and back. ran a personal best of 9:55 for the 1.60 mile course (6:12 pace). Would like to one day be able to break 6 pace but will be extremely hard considering the 1/2 mile hill that gains about 100ft.

Did Hunter mtn in the catskills via becker hollow trail. Ascent of 2200 ft in 2.05 miles to 4040ft. There was a cool fire tower up top. Did a loop down to the devil's path and then ran the 1.6 miles or so back to the car.

ran at huntington after work. it was pretty hot out but cooled down after about 45 mins into the run and didn't feel too bad. i saw 2 coyotes, the second one made me screw up my gps watch because i was concerned there was a pack that was going to try and have a go at me. the first one i startled we were running head first toward each other. it then went up on a rock to take the high ground and started barking hysterically at me. This is the second time i've been barked at. About 0.1 miles farther up the trail i saw another coyote but this one pretended not to see me and didn't cause any commotion. The first one kept barking for a long time. I was pissed i didn't have accurate time for about a mile. My second 5.7 miles was 8:43 pace and i think i may have just gone under 9 min for the entire run but i'll never know now since the 3.8 I had recorded was 9:23 and i had a downhill part that i missed. i'll get there to sub 9 for the trail loop.
