AM - just less than 5.25 miles on the trails from Dan's house.  Foggy and so warm that we were shirtless - in late November.  Two days ago it was in the thirties.

AM - 4.25 miles on the trail with Dan and Rosie.  The city sent out a notice that they are closing the trail beginning Monday for about 7 weeks to allow them to install new landscaping including trees and wildflowers along the trail and the new extension.   A bit frustrating from my perspective is that this latest work extending the trail was supposed to be completed in August and now they are delaying even longer - but it will be nice to see additional landcaping complementing the existing trail - hopefully they will also work on the eroded parts of the existing trail with better drainage.  Anyway, we got one last run in on it before the closure.

AM - 8 miles with the guys from Summitt Hiil out to Providence Park and looped back to Brittle - slow going in the Park trails with wet leaves and roots and rocks. Good run with the group.
