hiked ~3.5miles am at devil's den with kristin and her mom. beautiful day. 

ran at aspetuck with haynes. did not know what time we were meeting, sometime after 4pm i had told him but he texted me at 245 that he'd be at the trailhead at 3:30. I had just eaten about 1000 calories and still had a huge plate of gnocchi that there was no way i was going to control myself and not eat. i didn't have running shoes or running shorts but decided just to go with the shorts i had on. my 3yr old saucony shoes were actually quite comfortable. it was lots of fun running with haynes and was surprised that after mile 4 he hit the wall going up a hill that topped out at 420ft. To be fair, the climb was a whopping 220ft vertical gain and he did make it over 100 before he needed a break :)

he had to stop a few more times and we just walked it in at the end. miss running with haynes. hopefully we can plan a few runs in the future.

4.7 mile rock lot loop am. so much easier to wake up when you only ran 2 miles the day before.

pm did terre haute time trial after 1/2 mile warmup. throat has been bothering me a little but not too badly the last few days. i felt a little sick but not too bad. There was a bow hunter practicing on targets and had a jeep with a confederate flag. i ran very quickly by this section and got to the first hill in 2:21. Got to the top of the first hill in 4:17, to the top before it started going down in 7:46. To the bottom before second major climb in 9:35 (25 sec ahead of previous record). Gave back a few seconds on the last hill to finish in 15:18 (21 sec PR!).

I seriously don't know how i'm getting faster with fewer miles.

Ran a few more miles but didn't have my gps. had to walk on some of the motorbike trials i was exploring because they were just devastating with the ups and downs.

i'll just give myself 10 for the day, i did at least that.
